Prophet Salih and the she-camel of Allah

Hi Honey!  Are you keeping busy?  That's good.  Please have fun with your work, and don't forget to pray.  There was once an elderly teacher in this village, who used to teach at the local mosque.  His name was Salleh.  He was 78 when he died, but he remained active until then.  He was very vocal about how secular the establishment is, and often preach against it.  His death of heart failure was sudden in light of how active he was, and thousands of people came to the mosque to pray for him when his body was laid to rest.  Prophet Salih was assigned by God to the people of Thamud.  He brought them a she-camel, and declared that it was from Allah.  Salih warned the Thamud to allow the she-camel the right to graze and water, and not to do her any harm.  But they disobeyed and hamstrung her, thus the Thamud were destroyed by an earthquake and explosion.  By the way and I haven't mentioned this before, but I have no running water to my house.  Been almost a year now.

Hi Natty Honey!  Oh, you were so pretty when you were young!  I don't have the nerve to keep your baby photos, though.  I prefer how beautiful you are now.
