reason?

[eemaan1]

:salam2:

something has been puzzling me...

i might be out of order here but i feel that i have to ask.. is there a religous significance to the disasters hitting Indonesia/Malaysia... i mean earth quakes, train crashes, plane crashes.. one after the other!

no offence to any Indonesians/Malaysians. just curious....

As salaamu alaykum

Well, they're both in a geologically unstable area (the so-called Ring of Fire). So that'd account for the frequency of Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

As for transport accidents I suspect lack of money for maintenance and replacing old/obsolete equipment is a big factor.

 

[American Muslim]

There is signifigance in everything. Nothing happens without the permission of Allah (swt). The problem is when we try to "figure" God out. Allah Ta'alla's motivations are impossible for us to "figure" out. Isn't there something about Musa (PBUH) following another prophet (or angel) doing the will of Allah. Even the prophet Musa (PBUH) had to have the motivations behind these actions explained to him.

Forty Hadith

Forty Hadith

On the authority of Abu 'Abbas' Abdullah, the son of 'Abbas" (Radhiyal-lahu-anhuma) who said:

One day I was behind the Prophet (SAW) and he said to me: O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Ummah (nation, group likewise) were to gether to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had aleary prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.

these countries are suffering because people here have been doing real bad stuff i am sying this because i am living in malaysia rite now and will like to depart from here as soon as possible. examples of stuff done here are

* Alcohol is sold very openly without even giving out notice or warnings to muslims and no one even cares if a muslims is buying alcoholic drinks and surpisingly muslims are also taking part in this activity here for example like stores like 7/11 sell alcoholic drinks and you will see muslim people working in those stores. and the country doesnt care about it.

* Clubbing are open here for anyone, though i heard now they are being little strict but when i came couple a years ago it was very easy to go in that nasty place and no one even looks for and ID CARD to check if the person is muslim or nonmuslim.

* Muslims here are celeberating every other pagans festive and if you dont take part in with nonmuslims , you are known as rude or bad person. yes i have experienced this thing here.


Zanna here is very common because muslims here are having GF/BF relationship since they get into 13 yrs old . and they think it is freedom and when i asked one girl who came to actuallly make some relaionship with me (Dating) ""Why are malaysians dating and dont follow islam as it should be ?""

the answer i got was they are flexiblle muslims "

I hope they can say this to Allah when they meet him on Judgement Day

and there are many things for which i dont want to get into details . and this is common in the west but we are taliking about muslim countries. or maybe EX- Muslim countries.


Allah doesnt punish people without reason . Allah is most kind. the people have turned away form islam


what i said is not Gheebaat (Backbitting). instead it is awarness for the Ummah .

[Happy 2BA Muslim]

Why are there so many earthquakes?​

Allaah is the All-Wise, All-Knowing in all that He wills and decrees, and He is the All-Wise, All-Knowing in all that He legislates and commands. He creates and decrees whatever signs He wills, to frighten His slaves and remind them of their obligations and duties towards Him, and to warn them against associating anything in worship with Him, going against His commands and doing that which He has forbidden. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And We sent not the signs except to warn” [al-Israa’ 17:59]

“We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur’aan) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?” [Fussilat 41:53]

“Say: ‘He has power to send torment on you from above or from under your feet, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, and make you to taste the violence of one another.’” [al-An’aam 6:65]

Al-Bukhaari narrated in his Saheeh from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that when the aayah (interpretation of the meaning) “Say: ‘He has power to send torment on you from above” was revealed, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “A’oodhu bi wajhika (I seek refuge in Your Face”; “or from under your feet”, he said, “A’oodhu bi wajhika (I seek refuge in Your Face).” (Saheeh al-Bukhaari, 5/193).

(Abu’l-Shaykh al-Isbahaani narrated from Mujaahid concerning the Tafseer of this aayah, “Say: ‘He has power to send torment on you from above”: (this means) al-Sayhah (the shout or tumult), stones and strong wind; “or from under your feet”, (means) earthquakes and being swallowed up by the earth.)

Undoubtedly the earthquakes that are happening these days are among the signs which Allaah uses to frighten His slaves. All the earthquakes and other things which happen and cause harm and injury to people are because of shirk and sins, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):

“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much” [al-Shoora 42:30]

“Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allaah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself” [al-Nisaa’ 4:79]

And Allaah said concerning the nations of the past:

“So We punished each (of them) for his sins, of them were some on whom We sent Haasib (a violent wind with shower of stones) [as on the people of Loot (Lot)], and of them were some who were overtaken by As-Saihah [torment — awful cry, (as Thamood or Shu‘ayb’s people)], and of them were some whom We caused the earth to swallow [as Qaaroon (Korah)], and of them were some whom We drowned [as the people of Nooh (Noah), or Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and his people]. It was not Allaah Who wronged them, but they wronged themselves” [al-‘Ankaboot 29:40]

What Muslims and others who are accountable and of sound mind must do is repent to Allaah, adhere firmly to His Religion and avoid all that He has forbidden of Shirk and sin, so that they may be safe and attain salvation from all evils in this world and the next, and so that Allaah will ward off from them all harm, and bless them with all good. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And if the people of the towns had believed and had the Taqwaa (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they belied (the Messengers). So We took them (with punishment) for what they used to earn (polytheism and crimes).” [al-A’raaf 7:96]

And Allaah says concerning the People of the Book (interpretation of the meaning):

“And if only they had acted according to the Tawraah (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Qur’ân), they would surely, have gotten provision from above them and from underneath their feet” [al-Maa’idah 5:66].

And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment by night while they were asleep? Or, did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment in the forenoon while they were playing? Did they then feel secure against the Plan of Allaah? None feels secure from the Plan of Allaah except the people who are the losers.” [al-A’raaf 7:97-99]

Al-‘Allaamah Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Allaah sometimes gives the earth permission to breathe, which is when major earthquakes happen; this makes people feel scared, so they repent, give up sins, pray to Allaah and feel regret [for their sins]. When there had been an earthquake, some of the Salaf said: your Lord is warning you. When Madeenah was struck by an earthquake, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with you) addressed the people and said: if there is another earthquake, I will not stay here with you.”

And there are many similar reportes from the Salaf.

Our response when there is an earthquake or some other sign such as an eclipse, strong winds or floods, should be to hasten to repent to Allaah and pray to Him for safety, and to remember Him much and seek His forgiveness, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said when there was an eclipse: “If you see anything like that, hasten to remember Him, call on Him and seek His forgiveness.” (Part of an agreed-upon hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari (2/30) and Muslim (2/628)).

It is also mustahabb (recommended, encouraged) to show compassion to the poor and needy, and to give charity to them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Show mercy, you will be shown mercy.” (Narrated by Imaam Ahmad, 2/165)

“Those who are merciful will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Have mercy on those who are on earth, and the One Who is in heaven will show mercy to you.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood (13/285), al-Tirmidhi (6/43)).

“Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5/75), Muslim (4/1809)).

It was reported that when there was an earthquake, ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (may Allaah have mercy on him) would write to his governors telling them to give in charity.

One of the things which will help to keep people safe and sound is if the authorities impose an immediate crack-down on the foolish elements in society, forcing them to behave and applying the laws of sharee’ah to them, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The believers, men and women, are Awliyaa’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden); they perform As-Salaah (Iqaamat-as-Salaah), and give the Zakaah, and obey Allaah and His Messenger. Allaah will have His Mercy on them. Surely, Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise” [al-Tawbah 9:71]

“Verily, Allaah will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allaah is All-Strong, All-Mighty. Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give them power in the land, (they) enjoin Iqamat-as-Salaah [i.e. to perform the five compulsory congregational Salaah (prayers) (the males in mosques)], to pay the Zakaah and they enjoin Al-Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism and all that Islam has forbidden) [i.e. they make the Qur’aan as the law of their country in all the spheres of life]. And with Allaah rests the end of (all) matters (of creatures).” [al-Hajj 22:40-41]

“And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him.” [al-Talaaq 65:2-3]

And there are many aayaat on this topic.

The Prophet ( peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever meets the need of his brother, Allaah will meet his needs.” (Agreed upon; al-Bukhaari, 3/98; Muslim, 4/1996).

And he ( peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever relieves a believer of some of the distress of this world, Allaah will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever makes things easier for one who is suffering hardship, Allaah will make things easier for him in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals a Muslim’s faults, Allaah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allaah will help a person so long as he helps his brother.” (Narrated by Muslim, 4/2074).

And there are many ahaadeeth on this topic.

Allaah is the One Whom we ask to reform the affairs of all the Muslims and to bless them with proper understanding of Islam and help them to adhere steadfastly to it and repent to Allaah from all their sins. We ask Him to reform all those who are in authority over the Muslims’ affairs and to support the Truth and eradicate falsehood through them, and to help them to rule the people according to the laws of sharee’ah, and to protect them and all the Muslims from misguidance and temptation and the tricks of the Shaytaan, for He is Able to do all that.

May the blessings and peace of Allaah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions, and those who follow them in truth until the Day of Resurrection.

i think if u any islam country that is in disaster it has ti do with there religion , they must did something to annoy god ,

 

[muharram23]

salamu alaykum,

ive also heard of people saying that the Kuffar can go freely to those countries and take our young sister muslimah and commit zinna. I mean those girls are very young. They come and people give them young girls, i mean young. Probably, some younger than 12 or 10. Especially, they would do that close to the beaches. That's where tsunami hit. Alhamdulillah, hopefully alot of those kuffar are wiped. And indonesia is the most populated muslim country in the world.

People better guide towards good and forbid what is evil otherwise ALlah s.v.a will send punishment on us, and we will ask and make duas to Him s..va and He s.va will not except our duas.


wassalamu alaykum

Then he gathered all people of medinah and told them something like that if they dont stop of the evil they are doing and this happens again that he will leave this place. Wallahu alem. correct me with proof please if i made mistake.

Assalamu alalikum,

What bro Ahmed_2000 said is true but I live in a country that is worse when it comes to Zina, music, alcohol, drugs, pork, nakedness etc but we don't experience natural calamities as bad and as much as Malayisa/Indonesia does. I've asked one of our local Imaam/Ustadz regarding this and he said that there's even worst than Zina, music etc rampantly going on in that two country. It's shirk and Bid'ah. Building shrines in graves. Climbing mountains to offer salaat in certain occassion. Black Magic or sorcery is also practiced. I, personally have witnessed this. Some young women have this ritual to keep their beauty or youth by reading some verses not from the Qur'an which they call Palmanis and sadly it's already introduced here in the Philippines. There's also a lot of Sufis in that country and it scares me because we're neighbours and some of those practices were brought to us. May Allaah swt keep us away from this ameen.

I agree with American Muslim, he pretty much summed it up.
