The Three Reasons for the People of Thamud Denying Sayyiduna Salih:
That is, the people of Thamud denied Sayyiduna Salihؑ for three reasons: First, that he is a human being just like us. He eats, drinks, and walks in the markets. We do not see anything supernatural about him. Second, that he is alone; he has neither a group with him, nor an army, nor any helpers or grandeur. So on what basis can we obey him? And if we start obeying him, who would be more foolish and insane than us? And the third reason is that if Allah really wanted to appoint a messenger, was this the person He chose? One who has neither wealth nor grandeur—so on what basis can we obey him? And if we start obeying him, who would be more foolish and insane than us? Rather, we think that he has merely staged a pretense of prophethood from Allah, and in reality, he just wants to become a great man or a leader. And these were exactly the same objections that the Quraysh of Makkah were raising against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
