The tribe of Thamud descended as the grandson of ________?

Select your answer for: The tribe of Thamud descended as the grandson of ________?
Show answer

Answer: B. Sam

Explanation

According to genealogical traditions, the tribe of Thamud descended from Sam (Shem), the son of Noah. Ancient lineages trace the dispersion of post-flood civilizations back through the sons of Noah. The Thamud established a flourishing civilization in the rocky terrain of northwestern Arabia. Genealogy in ancient history served as a method for categorizing ethnic groups and regional populations. The tribe of Thamud is famously associated with Prophet Saleh and the miracle of the she-camel. Archaeological sites like Madain Saleh reveal the advanced architectural skills possessed by this ancient civilization.

Studying ancient genealogies connects scriptural narratives with historical migration patterns of early peoples. Civilizational ruins serve as physical reminders of past societies that rejected divine guidance. Preserving historical origins helps researchers understand the linguistic and cultural ties among ancient nations. Idrees A.S was an earlier prophet and ancestor rather than the immediate genealogical root of Thamud. Aad represents a separate contemporary ancient tribe rather than the direct lineage of Thamud. None of these is incorrect because Sam is the widely accepted ancestral figure in traditions.
