You're making it more complicated than it really is.
Using something similar to Jonathan's method:
// Change your id to something like 'link_1', like here:
<a href="#" id="link_1" class="active">slide 1</a>
var activeTabID = $(this).attr('id'); // -> link_1
var activeTab = activeTabID.split('_')[1]; // -> 1
$('#tab_'+activeTab).fadeIn(500); // fadeIn element with ID 'tab_1'
