Madyan - Prophet Shoaib's city

Prophet Shoaib, (Shuaib "Who Shows the Right Path"), was a prophet of Islam mentioned in the Qur'an. He is believed to be Ibrahim's great-grandson. He was sent as a prophet to the Midianites to warn them to end their fraudulent ways. When they did not repent, Allah destroyed them. Shoaib is traditionally identified[who?] with Jethro, Moses' father-in-law according to the Hebrew Bible.

Location: Al-Bada, Northern Saudi Arabia. Tabuk, Dhiba are nearby major cities. Exact location with VIEW MAP option in new pictures (with GPS coordinates).

Al-Quran stated that Shoaib was appointed by God to be a prophet to the people who lived east of Mount Sinai, the people of Midian and Ayka. The people of these lands were said to be especially notorious for cheating others through dishonest weights and measures. Shoaib warned them against such actions but they did not listen. Subsequently, both lands were destroyed by the wrath of God.

sammy ali ahmed.		15-Mar-2013 13:32
to Ehtesham from sammy ali madyan and medain saleh are different places in saudi arabia.madyan belongs to the people of prophet shoaib and medain saleh belongs to the people of prophet saleh(A.S).

sammy ali ahmed		15-Mar-2013 13:08
to danish these the sins of people of prophet shoaib that they committed 1. giving short measure or weight, whereas the strictest commercial probity is necessary for success; 2. a more general form of such fraud, depriving people of rightful dues; 3. producing mischief and disorder, where peace and order had been established (again in a literal as well as metaphorical sense); 4. not content with upsetting settled life, taking to highway robbery, literally as well as 5. metaphorically, in two ways, viz., cutting off people from access to the worship of God, and abusing religion and piety for crooked purposes, i.e., exploiting religion itself for their crooked ends, as when a man builds houses of prayer out of unlawful gains, or ostentatiously gives charity out of money which he obtained by force or fraud, etc.

The people of Shuaib a.s. were dishonest business men and also looted people on the highways. They did not give full measure and caused losses to others by fraud and corruption, says 182 & 183 verse of Surah as-Shura. There were three azab for the peopleof Midyan, a mighty earthquake (Surah al Ar'af ch 7, verse 91), a huge scream or a mighty blast (Surah Hud ch 11 verse 94), and the third, as per their challenge that "if Shuaib a.s. was truthful then let a fragment of sky fall upon us" and Allah fulfilled their desire (Surah as Shura ch 26 verse 188-189)

DANISH		06-Aug-2012 07:45
