I live in the atlanta area in georgia, in the United States. Many people came here to Georgia from Florida due to the hurricane leaving them without shelter or safety, and many shelters are refusing people due to overcrowding. there is also a humanitarian organization's spokeswoman speaking on cnn about how dangerous it is for children in those shelters due to all the creeps, and the health hazards for babies due to overcrowding. it hasnt hit here yet, but like i said, people have started coming from florida, and have started stocking up on supplies, including my family. i fear for my mother, because she has to go to work (she's a nurse), during the storm, and also, my university as cancelled for two days so far (tomorrow and day after). Rumors started circulating on Quora (a forum i use, but a secular one) that Hurricane Harvey (which devastated Texas) was a punishment from Allah aza wa jal for voting for Trump. I even started to wonder if that was the case. I'm even wondering if Hurrice Irma is a punishment, since the majority of people in Florida and Georgia voted for Trump. May also be a punishment from Allah swt to america in general...for....you know....what they do abroad.
but i may just be paranoid and looking for an explanation. im kinda scared, but also excited. pray for me and my family please.
first of all, i have psychiatric conditions which require me to take medications to calm my aggression, which make me sleepy.....so i always miss fajr, and i have a valid medical excuse....even when the alarm blares at full volume across the room i sleep through it. second, i did not miss anymore prayers, namely dhuhr and asr. and repenting does not take all day. i repent all the time. i even say "subhan Allahi wa bi hamdih " 100 times a day and pray salat ul tawbah whenever i committ a sin.
1. If you miss fajar prayer due to sleep (not intentionally), you can make qaza (late ) when you can make all of the 4 raka't. That will be when you wake up.
2. The best treatment of the psychological disorders is the reading and understanding of the Holy Quraan. You should start it now and you will see insha-Allah that after a few months or a year, you don't need Psychiatry drugs.

the Qur'an does not cure all illnesses. psychological disorders stem from either environmental, behavioral, or neurological causes. Mine stem from neurological causes (my brain and its chemicals are wired differently). In other words, it is just as much a physical illness as it is a mental illness. So it requires physical remedies. The Qur'an is a miracle that is used to prove Muhammad (PBUH)'s Prophethood, as well as a call to and guide for moral living, not a medicine, unless one is afflicted with jinns, evil eye, or black magic. And mine is not a case of jinns, evil eye, or black magic.

also, I DO pray qaza after waking up, what I mean is, I never pray on time.
I am taking my mom and two boys home tomorrow. We will be driving for Florida, Inshaallah--Allah SWT keep us safe: TawkaltuAllah!
It is in my heart to say that these tremendous storms can be an affirmative result on man's choices on earth. We have evolved in a society based on selfishness, baseness of humility, lack of remorse, and coldness of heart. It is not an improbability that these changes in weather patterns are not based on what man has created. Allah SWT is there to protect those who need Him. He made us intelligent beings, but our decisions are the ones that affects us. Allah SWT is the peace to our existence.
"O you who believe. If you help Allah, Allah will help you; and establish your feet firmly. But those who disbelieve, for them is destruction and Allah will make their deeds vain."
"Indeed, Our Word has gone forth of old for our slaves, the Messengers, that they will certainly be victorious; and that Our forces will certainly be triumphant."
"Allah has Decreed: It is My Messenger and I who will prevail."
"Allah has promised to those amongst you who believe and do righteous actions that He will grant you the khilafah in the land."
Al-Qur'an 47:7, 37:171-173, 58:21 and 24:55;
also,
'Never will Allah change the condition of a people, until they change themselves.'
Al-Qur'an 13:11"
or, to look on the "dark side":
Surah 99, Ayah 1-3 "When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion, And the earth throws up her burdens (from within), And man cries (distressed): 'What is the matter with her?"
I'm glad to hear everything went well with you guys. The hurricane was the largest recorded to come our way and hit us, so I don't think people really knew how to prepare and react for it. We were out of gas, water, ice and most of the basic things even before the storm came. We just got power up last night alhamdulillah. The houses were around 100* during the day and at night, only got down to the 90s even with the windows and doors open. This storm (along with any natural disasters) should be a wake up call to people, whether religious or not, to realize we are helpless in situations like these regardless of the technologies we have. We had 1 days worth of rain and there were already parts of Florida underwater. Just imagine if we had a storm like Texas did where the rain didn't stop for days. As more storms come here, it seems the floods we get become more frequent regardless of the amount of rain we get. It was always predicted that parts of Florida would become underwater in the future, so who knows what will happen as time goes on.
It's been a horrible week in terms of weather and the situation over all but, it's also been a blessing. Although the wireless battery powered technologies were still around, things like computers and tvs were completely down (unless you had a generator), so to get away from all that was nice. People came together and families were communicating with each other. It was actually quite refreshingl. Unfortunately now that the power is back on, things will return to the way they were because that's what people are comfortable with. Face to face communication between people will stop, people will become hermits in their houses, and overall, with all this background noise in the way, people will no longer contemplate on life and their surroundings or even worse, be thankful for what they have.

No medicine can work if Allah doesn't will. We have to use medicines and pray to Allah for Shafaa. If a Muslim starts trusting medicine instead of Allah, he commits shirk.
In fact, these are the vast truths that I want you to know. You start understanding the Holy Quraan and check, insha -Allah you will see amazing change. Also insha-Allah you will one day start praying on time.

Inshallah nothing severe will happen. I dont believe its a punishment from Allah swt. Il keep you and everyone else there in my prayers
The people who are killed by a hurricane, tornado, earthquake etc. for them it is a punishment but those who are saved, for them it is a warning to take heed before another one comes and kills him/her.
