(See Hud: 62) The fact that his people called him {’’ اِنَّمَا اَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِيْنَ ‘‘} also proves that before the proclamation of prophethood, he was considered very wise and intelligent by them, and the change in his condition, in their view, was the result of magic.

The Dwelling and Characteristics of the People of Thamud:
After the first people of ‘Ad, this very people of Thamud, who are also called ‘Ad Thaniyyah (the second ‘Ad), became renowned. Allah Almighty first mentioned the people of Musa, then the people of Ibrahim, then the people of Nuh, then the first people of ‘Ad, and in fifth place, the second people of ‘Ad are mentioned. The dwelling of this people is also called Al-Hijr. This area, three to four hundred kilometers long and about one hundred kilometers wide, is located between Hijaz and Sham, and it lies on the route that goes from Madinah to Tabuk. The ways and manners of this people were almost the same as those of the first ‘Ad. They too possessed strong, tall, and robust bodies. They certainly believed in the existence of Allah Almighty, but were badly afflicted with the disease of shirk. They were a very arrogant and rebellious people. Their prominent characteristic was that they were top-class engineers and excellent stone masons. They demonstrated their skill by carving out magnificent houses from the mountains. In the same way, within the mountains themselves, they had settled entire communities.
