Only the holy Quran mentions the story of Ad and Thamud because they were Arabic so the bible didn't metion them.

Allah alone knows their number. When their Messengers came to them with plain teachings and manifest Signs, they thrust their hands into their mouths*15 saying, "We reject the Message .with which you have been sent and we have a disquieting doubt about that thing*16 to which you are inviting us."
*15….There has been a great deal of difference of opinion in regard to the meaning of the Arabic words of the Text and different commentators have assigned different meanings to them.
But we are of .the opinion that these express merely the intolerance and perplexity and a bit of anger that was being shown by the disbelievers towards the Message and this is confirmed by the subsequent sentence.
*16….They had a "disquieting doubt" about the Message because it had taken away their peace of mind.
This was because invitation to the Message always makes the minds uneasy,
For it becomes hard even for its opponents to reject it out-right or oppose it with peace of mind.
Howsoever they might give vent to their doubts about it and oppose it tooth and nail the force of its truth and its sound arguments, its frankness and candour and its winning manners of exposition produce a great agitation in the minds of its bitterest opponents: then the pure and spotless character of the Messenger and the marked change for the better brought about in his followers produce such an accumulative effect on their minds that even their most bitter antagonists begin to feel uneasy about their own stand.
Thus, those who try to disturb the peace of mind of the upholders of the Truth are themselves deprived of their own peace of mind.

I think the following is correct:
Jews, Muslims & Christians all believe in the old testament which includes the story of Noah.
Jews believe in a prophet called Abraham who they believe WAS NOT the son of God/Allah.
Christians believe in Abraham and in a prophet called Jesus who they believe WAS the son of God/Allah.
Muslims believe in Abraham, Jesus (who they contend was NOT the son of God) and in a later prophet called Mohammed who again they believe was not the son of God.
Makes you wonder why they all fight so much doesn't it.
I'd like to be corrected if I've got any of the above wrong.

You must remember these are just storeys, with much of the truth missing, and written by people who had no understanding of what they were writing
