Nuh's (as) people who sank under the waters by a dreadful flood... 'Ad who were fully overlaid by an unceasing sand storm... Lut's (as) people who practiced sodomy and were wiped off the face of the earth with lava tides and earthquakes... Fir'awn's army that disappeared in the sea... And many other past nations that were wiped off the face of the earth by Allah because of their blasphemy... This book examines how these people referred to in the Qur'an were perished. It presents by documentary evidence the archaeological finds and the historical record of these people.
