The Story of Prophet Saleh (PBUH) and lesson to learn

We think we are so important and so clever, with our nuclear weapons and our ability to send people into outer space, while at the same time, like the people of Thamud, we oppress the poor, and deny even simple people their rights.

Prophet Saleh (peace be upon him) teaches us something very important: that doing God's will is a reward in itself. We need neither signs nor proofs nor congratulations for doing it. He tells us,

[No reward do I ask of you for it; my reward is only from the Lord of the worlds.] (Ash-Shu`araa' 26:145).

You can find the story of Prophet Saleh(peace be upon him) told in full in these places in the Quran: the seventh chapter, called Al-A`raf, verses 73-78, the 11th chapter, called Hud, verses 61-68, the 26th chapter, called Ash-Shu`araa', verses 141-159, and the 27th chapter, called An-Naml, verses 45-53. It can teach us all to be better people.
