Subhan Allah! What a website! Thanks for sharing that with us! Really makes you think... When you just read about historical occurrences in books then you never really think of them as being people like you and I..

Assalam alaikum

I looked at that site and didn't think much about it unitl yesterday while reading the Qur'an I came accross the following verses in surah Hud (in context with ppl of Thamud)

[i] When Our Decree issued, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves - and from the Ignominy of that day. For thy Lord - He is the Strong One, and able to enforce His Will.
The (mighty) Blast overtook the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes before the morning,-
As if they had never dwelt and flourished there. [/i]

Similar verses are again repeated for the ppl of Madyan. Yusuf Ali says in the footnotes that the "blast" was probably the sound accompanying a volcanic explosion! Subhanallah...on reading all this the photos on that site just flashed before me...how similar the description!
Subhanallah..the ayats (signs) of Allah's mercy are everywhere and if we look close, so are the ayats of His wrath (may we be saved from it)
As Allah ta'ala says later in the surah :

[i]These are some of the stories of communities which We relate unto thee: of them some are standing, and some have been mown down (by the sickle of time).
It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition!
Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement.
In that is a Sign for those who fear the penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony. [/i]
