Prophet Hud - 11:61
"And to Thamud sent their brother Salih. He said: "O my people, serve Allah, there is no god but Him. It is He who brought you out of the earth and created you and settled you therein. So seek forgiveness from Him and then turn to Him. Surely my Lord is Near, the Answerer."
How does our Lord settle us on the earth?
The Cattle/6:133
Your Lord is Rich, the Owner of Mercy. If He wills, He will take you away and replace you with whom He wills after you, just as He brought you from the descendants of others.
