The Kingdom of Thamud, as documented in Assyrian and Roman sources, holds the distinction of being the earliest known kingdom on the Arabian Peninsula. According to Arabian tradition, the Thamud kingdom met its demise by divine intervention. This ancient civilization operated without a written legal code, relying instead on the authority of tribal leaders to govern.

Thamud (ثمود) finds mention in the Quran as a people renowned for their skill in carving stone houses from mountain rock in ancient Arabia. They were recipients of divine messages through the prophet Salih. Legend has it that the remarkable stone dwellings at Medain Salih bear testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient Thamudic people.

Both the Aad and Thamud civilizations were situated in the northwestern region of modern-day Saudi Arabia, near the border of Jordan. Preceding their downfall, Allah dispatched two prophets to these nations: Prophet Hud (AS) to the Aad, and Prophet Salih (AS) to the Thamud, in efforts to guide them toward righteousness.
