Everything happened on earth is the command of Allah Swt, similarly with any disaster such earthquake. A day after 7,6 Richter scale eartquake in Padang and its surroundings, rumors are spreading via a short message services said that the time of the earthquake relates with the verses of holy book of Qur'an.
"The earthquake in Padang at 17:16, and the the aftershocks at 17:58, next earthquake in Jambi happened at 8:52. Take a look at the Qur'an! " the sms said.
Belive it or not, when we check that message with the verses of Quran, we will find the time of those earthquakes coincided with the verses of Qur'an that talk about the punishment Allah Swt. Those verses talk about destruction, death and its connection with luxurious life-style and human perfidy. Let's see them one by one ;
17.16 (QS Al-Israa' 16) "When We desire to annihilate a village, We command those who live in ease, but they commit evil therein, then the Word is realized against it and it is utterly annihilated."
17.58 (QS Al-Israa'; 58) "There is no village except that it shall be destroyed or that We will punish it with a stern punishment before the Day of Resurrection. That is inscribed in the Book."
8.52 (QS Al-Anfaal;52) "Like Pharaoh's family and those who have gone before them, they disbelieved the signs of Allah. Therefore, Allah seized them in their sinfulness. Mighty is Allah and stern in retribution."
I don't mean to say that people where the earthquakes happened were being punished by God because they have many sins. People may say that it's just only coincidences. But all i know in islamic knowlegde there is no "coincidence", this is only we as human beings with limited knowledge. Wallahu'alam.
yup, there is not such a thing called "coincidence", there always be lessons need to be learned behind all of these disasters
ReplyDeleteagreed.. everything had its own fate that's been wrote before it's been and i got amazed when i opened the verses of Qur'an which is supposed to got a relation with the time of the earthquake occured.. we should learn from everything happened..
ReplyDelete*wah, senengnya bisa reply pake bahasa planet lain di blog mba Len :D
Yes, no coincidence. Every thing's based on the rules.
ReplyDeleteWe have the idea of determinism in Islam at the same time that we can change our fate. I mean, there is the rule of Allah, and we get the outcome of what we do.
Time doesn't mean any thing to Allah, and according to the holy verses of Quran, KON FA YAKOON, there will be things as soon as he wants them to be. In this context, everything every where in the cosmos from millions of years back in the history till now to the day of resurrection, all and all are existing for Allah, and there isn't any matter of time for him.
The question is if it's so and every thing is there, how would one be punished or rewarded in this world ? And how could we be responsible for what we do.
The answer i believe is that, although it seems like it is a static phenomena, it actually is not. It is a dynamic phenomena. It is moving otherwise it was not alive, but QURAN says HOVA ALHAI, he is alive, the whole cosmos and the other world are alive, they are changing and promoting, they are in permanent evolution, revolution and development.
Therefore, we get the outcome of what we do in both worlds.
thank you brother to add the explanation ... something we have to remember that the entire universe is subject to God's command though some people consider the earthquake as a natural phenomenon in common

ReplyDeleteagree bro ... we have to learn from everything even from disasters ..
