The She-Camel of God (Arabic: نَاقة الله, romanizednaaqat Allah, lit.'camel of God (f.)') in Islam was a miraculous female camel sent by God to the people of Thamud in Al-Hijr,[1][2] after they demanded a miracle from Salih to prove his prophethood. The narrative and story of the she-camel is recorded in the Qur'an, particularly in Surah Al Hijr.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
