Islam, Quran , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Indeed, We sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ among the groups of early peoples, but no messenger ever came to them without being mocked. This is how We allow disbelief ˹to steep˺ into the hearts of the wicked. They would not believe in this ˹Quran˺ despite the ˹many˺ examples of those ˹destroyed˺ before. And even if We opened for them a gate to heaven, through which they continued to ascend, still they would say, “Our eyes have truly been dazzled! In fact, we must have been bewitched.” Quran 15:10~15
It is named ‘Hijr’ after the valley located between Madinah and Sham [Greater Syria], where the people of Salih, Thamud lived.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِی شِیَعِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ وَمَا یَأۡتِیهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ یَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم بَابࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِیهِ یَعۡرُجُونَ لَقَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَـٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمࣱ مَّسۡحُورُونَ
The main theme of the Surah is divine guidance, and people’s response. Allah’s warns those who deny this message and as a reminder of these warnings, we have here the stories of Prophet Lot’s people, Thamud and other groups.
اے محمدؐ، ہم تم سے پہلے بہت سی گزری ہوئی قوموں میں رسول بھیج چکے ہیں کبھی ایسا نہیں ہوا کہ اُن کہ پاس کوئی رسول آیا ہو اور اُنہوں نے اُس کا مذاق نہ اڑایا ہو مجرمین کے دلوں میں تو ہم اس ذکر کو اِسی طرح (سلاخ کے مانند) گزارتے ہیں وہ اِس پر ایمان نہیں لایا کرتے قدیم سے اِس قماش کے لوگوں کا یہی طریقہ چلا آ رہا ہے اگر ہم اُن پر آسمان کا کوئی دروازہ کھول دیتے اور وہ دن دہاڑے اُس میں چڑھنے بھی لگتے تب بھی وہ یہی کہتے کہ ہماری آنکھوں کو دھوکا ہو رہا ہے، بلکہ ہم پر جادو کر دیا گیا ہے
