4) The marvel camel that has no father and no mother,

The meaning of verse 7:73
And, Allah sent, to Thamood tribe their brother Salih. He said, ‘O my people, worship Allah, profess Allah’s divine Oneness! You have no god other than Him. Truly there has come to you a clear proof, an illustration, from your Lord, of my truthfulness, this is the she-camel which Allah brought miraculously as a sign for you, they had asked him to make it come out of a specific rock which they had designated. So leave her to feed throughout Allah’s earth, eat its grass unhindered, and do not touch her with harm, either by hamstringing or beating her, lest you be seized by a painful chastisement.
N.B.:
The leaders of Thamood said unto their Prophet Salih:
If you are truthful in your claim that you are a messenger from Allah, then tell your Lord to bring us a she-camel out of this (specific huge) rock!
Salih said: then you will believe?
They said: oh, yes, sure we will
Salih said: and you will let the she-camel eat and drink without bothering her?
They said: oh, yes, sure we will
Salih said: Look, if you hurt the she-camel you be seized by a severe chastisement
They said: agreed, deal !
Salih prayed to Allah to bring the she-camel out of the specific huge rock that they determined.
Allah did. Miraculously, this she-camel had no father, no mother; it just came out of the rock when Allah has said: Be.
But most of Thamood‘s people especially their leaders did not believe in Allah and did not follow the teaching of their Prophet Salih.
The meaning of verse 7:74
And remember how Allah made you vicegerents, on earth, after the destruction of the people of Aad, and gave you habitations in the land, making castles in its plains, in which you lodge during summer, and hewing its mountains into houses, in which you lodge during winter. So remember Allah’s bounties and believe in Him and do not practice evil, making mischief and do not be degenerate, do not commit transgressions on the earth or seeking corruption and do not call to other than Allah.
It should be emphasized that Thamood people are the vicegerents of Aad; and Aad’s people are the vicegerents of Noah descendants. Nevertheless, the history ignored studying both Aad and Thamood
The meaning of verse 7:75
the leaders of the arrogant party among his people said to those who were oppressed, to such of them as believed, that is, from among Thamood’s people who were overpowered, despised and weak:
So you know that Salih is sent from his Lord to you?
They, chieftains of Thamood’s people who were scornful, waxed proud, who disdained belief in Salih said that mocking.
The poor people replied: Yes! Truly we believe in the Message with which Salih has been sent
