I notice, when disaster happen in non-Muslim land, there are always Muslims who easily say that disaster is azaab. Including few Muslims in this forum too. And today earthquake happen in Aceh, the only province in Indonesia that implement Sharia, the Islamic province. Dozens people died, many building damaged. But, anybody dare to say that this earthquake is azaab?.
:sl: bro wallahul aalam but see this hadiths
Dawud :: Book 35 : Hadith 4265
Narrated AbuMusa:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: This people of mine is one to which mercy is shown. It will have no punishment in the next world, but its punishment in this world will be trials,
earthquakes and being killed.
The inside story only Allah knows , was this a test for them or an Azaab for them. But I recall the tsunami in 2004 which was very destructive but a more stronger earthquake
in a more shallower and nearer to Acheh took place ( i dont remember when exactly) and
a strongest tsunami ALERT than 2004 was announced for the whole SE Asia (since my interests are in phuket ) predicted with more possible destruction than 2004 was expected that send cramps on to my stomach
BUT SUBHANALLAH NOTHING HAPPENED as Allah helped in 2004 too Alhamdulilah since we give zakat regularly. my guess & justification was all would have run to masjids and went in prostration and i later I saw the news which was exactly like i thought including non muslims who ran to masjid and fell in prayer. So Allah ar rahman removed the worst danger I suppose as Allah did with Kaum al Yunus A.S.
So when people are
just doing lip service and not from their hearts this still could happen
& if their hearts loose mercy towards its brethren (inspite of following Islam ) such things could happen is my guess, But Still Its a guess ONLY ALLAH KNOWS.
