Surah 7 Verse 90
The Prophet Lut (alayhis salaam) warned his people of the 'abomination' of their actions. The people left women and lusted after men instead.
His people's response was to tell themselves, turn them out, they are too pure. (Surah 7 verse 82)
So their virtue is turned into a fault.This is much like today, where keeping oneself pure before marriage is laughed at.
His people was rescued except for his wife.
The punishment of the people was rain of stone.It is also reported that the towns were turned upsidedown. The earth was split. The area is now the Dead Sea.
This land is the lowest point on Earth. Is this because of the punishment that happened there? (When the land was lifted and smashed back to the ground!)

Wall of Hate
http://chromovision.com/films/Wall.wmv
See for yourself how water resources are being snatched.
Muslim countries must and should spearhead diplomatic efforts to stop such suffering. Muslim dominated organisations like OPEC must be able to do something with their oil wealth. This is something that must be done at Government level. Individuals have little impact in these matters.
What about economic sanctions? If Israel can choke the Palestinians economically, why can Muslim countries choke them economically? And also economic sanctions against those who support Israel? Individuals boycotting Israeli products have little impact!
When it comes to sanctions against Muslim countries, support is swift and devastating! All avenues of help are shut! Do we remember how Iraq suffered under sanctions? Do we see how Gaza is being choked? Why can't Muslim countries do the same? Why don't we learn from how they treat us?
But instead, not a word from any Muslim government!
In fact, we find that many Muslim countries actually investing in those economies supporting Israel! Click here for example
Is there nowhere else to invest?
Why tie yourself to the success of such countries?
Specially when that country does not seem to take these investments into consideration when it takes decisions in the world stage?
Unless we do not really care, as long as we get good returns for our investments?
I find it very difficult to accept that there is no way to make Israel listen, through peaceful but firm ways!
Allah has given us so much wealth of natural resources yet still we do not make a difference to the lives of fellow brothers and sisters! Instead we fill our own pockets and enjoy life in this world!
While the world still depends heavily on oil, Muslim governments must use it to enforce justice for our brothers and sisters all over the world. It is their duty to the Muslims.
In many ways we are to blame that they act with such impunity...Muslim countries do not act...so they carry on...Muslim countries still do nothing...so they get bolder and bolder in their aggression...
How will these Muslim heads of government justify their actions or inaction on the Day of Judgement?

Prophet Salih (alayhis salaam) sent to Thamud
Surah 7 Verse 73
He was sent to Thamud. In their discussions with Prophet Salih (alayhis salaam), the people challenged him to ask Allah to bring a she-camel from the rocks. This miracle happened in front of their eyes. This is the camel that is referred to in this verse.
(Verse 74) Thamud came after A'ad. They built their houses inside mountains. Was this in response to the way A'ad were destroyed?
(Verse 75-76) As is the common way, the poor people were the first to follow Salih (alayhis salaam). But the leaders were arrogant and openly said that they did not believe.
(Verse 77) Inspite of being told to leave the camel free to roam and eat and drink, they slaughtered the camel. They were openly arrogant and challenged Salih(alayhis salaam) for the punishment he warned them against.
The punishment came in the form of a vigorous shaking, translated as earthquake. They died instantly in what position they were at the time.
(Verse 79)Why does Salih(alayhis salaam) talk to them? Because they can hear. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihe wassallam also talked to the deceased leaders on the battlefied saying something like 'They can hear but they cannot respond'
