Assalamu-alaikum,
I pray for the safety of all those who are/ will be in the middle of this storm insha Allah.
As Allah leashes His qoedrat upon His slaves - it is a means of testing some, while punishing others.
And while He loves for His servants to place their trust in Him, the following is also true:
For those who have the physical and material means to leave an area that is threatened by possible destruction, injury or loss of lives, then insha Allah take these precautious measures.
And trust that whatever Allah has decreed WILL happen.
Make the effort to protect yourself and your family (as far as is possible for you) AND trust in Allah.
Ya Allah, have mercy on your slaves, for You are the Most merciful, Most forgiving and Most compassionate.
Ameen.

Not wanting to be misinterpreted, but is not the Hurricane the Will of Allah ? For all those effected by the Hurrican is it not God's will to bestow, in the grand scheme of things we lack the understanding to report such stories in a negative or tragic light.
God will such devastation may be needed to realign people perceptions. This event was meant to happen just like everything else is preordained...

A woman has already died in Toronto from the complications of the hurricane (Staples board fell down on her and damaged her brain, probably hemorrhage or brainstem herniation).
I am not making a big deal out of this hurricane. Nor am I praying for kaafirs. Life moves on while on call.

“Winds and Hurricanes”
By the Noble Shaykh: Muhammad ibn Ahmad Al-feefee
(May Allah preserve him)
Translated by: Abu Nasir Saalik ibn Baldwin
Masjid Tawheed wa Sunnah
All thanks and praises belong to Allah, and may the peace and blessings be upon his messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم.
To proceed:
‘O Muslims… The Sunnah (way, methodology) of Allah, the Mighty & Majestic, as it relates to His servants, is that He will treat them in accordance with their actions. Therefore, when the people have taqwa (fear) of their Lord, the One who created them and provides for them, He causes blessings from the heavens to descend upon them, and He brings out for them, the good things from the earth. Just as He glorified is He, has stated:
{And if the people of the towns had believed and had taqwa (piety), certainly, We would have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth…} [Al-a’raf 7:96]
In addition, He, the Most High said,
{If they (non-Muslims) had believed in Allah, and went on the right way (i.e. Islam) We should surely have bestowed on them rain in abundance.} [al-Jinn 72:16],
and when the servant rebels against the legislation of Allah, and deviate away from His commands… the chastisement and punishment is brought upon them from the Magnificent, the Supreme.
Thus, whenever the servants are obedient to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, obedient to His legislation…He showers upon them His blessings, and removes from them His afflictions/punishments.
Whenever the condition of the servants shift from obedience to disobedience, and grateful to ungrateful, then afflictions and punishments befall them and the blessings are removed from them.
Therefore, all of what occurs to the slaves from severe trial and afflictions, natural disasters, and calamities…then it is due to what their (own) hands have earned, and He pardons much, just as He, the Most High, has stated
{and whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned, and He pardons much.} [Ash-shuraa 42:30]
Even if we don’t bear witness to it, from these universal signs of Allah. It makes the believer one who connects with Allah… talking to him, thanking Him for His blessings; one who seeks refuge with Him, fearing His punishment and His displeasure.
He, the Mighty and Majestic, said: {And how many signs in the heavens and the earth they pass by, while they are apathetic towards them} [Yusuf 12:105] Meaning that they do not ponder and reflect over them, nor do they take a lesson or warning from them.
‘O slaves of Allah, verily from the blessings of Allah upon us, is this air in which we breathe and due to our severe need of it, Allah has made it free and accessible to the creation in every place, and without cost or wealth, but when this air becomes polluted by the Divine Decree (of Allah), and benefitting from it is no longer possible then verily the state of the people will become difficult and constricted. Perhaps he will reach conditions of unconsciousness, or suffocation.
It has certainly come upon us, continually, in these days, severe winds accompanied by thick dust. The people have been harmed, and they have suffered damages from it and it has become evident/clear, their inability to repel it and defend against its harm, even by locking the doors and windows. So therefore, it reaches every place even if they were locked.
‘O Believers, verily the wind is an army, from the armies of Allah- the Most High- which nothing is able to withstand. Therefore, when it exceeds its normal velocity- By the permission of its Lord- cities are annihilated, building are demolished, trees are uprooted, and thus become a punishment for the one whose home it fell upon.
Therefore, when the people of ‘Ad became insolent and they said: (Who is more severe than us in strength). Allah sent down upon them the barren wind; so He- the Mighty and Majestic said: {and in ‘Ad (there is also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind; it spared nothing that it, but blew it into spreads of rotten ruins} [Az-zariyat 51:41-42]
Baghawi said: “It is that which has no good in it, or blessing, nor does it pollinate any trees. It does not spare anything that it encounters from their persons, (i.e. themselves) their livestock, their cattle, and their wealth except that it makes it like broken spreads and rotten ruins. Meaning: like anything worn out/ decayed ruined, and destroyed: Also like the nabaat (plants, trees, flowers, herbs, bushes, grass, vines, green algae, fem, etc.) of the earth when it has been dried out and trampled upon. Mujahid said: like dry, waterless straw or hay. (Tafsir al-Baghawi)
Surely, Allah- Most High- named this wind عَاتِيَةٍ Atiyah (violent, furious, strong) in His statement.
{As for Ad, they were destroyed by furious violent wind!} [Al-Haqqah 69:6]
The scholars of Tafsir said: It was brought upon them without mercy or blessing, and it said: It was brought upon the storage places (i.e. for wealth) then it left it bankrupt!
How could this not be the case!? And it is an army from the armies of Allah…He assists with it (i.e. His army) whomever He wishes from His believing slaves, just as it occurred in the conquest (battle) of the trenches.
Allah, Most High said: {‘O you who believe! Remember Allah’s favor upon you, when there came against you hosts and We sent against them a wind and forces that you saw not (i.e. troops of angels during the battle of Al-Ahzab [the confederates]). And Allah is ever All-seer of what you do. [Al-Ahzab]
Narrated ibn Abee Najih from Mujahid (1), he said: It is the east wind. It turned their cooking pots over and took away their tents until it made them decamp/ leave. (Meanings of the Qur’an by: Abu Ja’far An-Nihas).[1]
It has been collected by Bukhari and Muslim, and other than them, from the Hadith of ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم said “the help came from the Saba, and Ad was destroyed by the daboor” (the sabaa, it is the eastern wind, and the daboor, it is the westernly wind.) [Explanation of Nawawee]
Narrated ‘Aisha رضى الله عنها, she said concerning the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم.
“If it was a day of wind and clouds- the concern would show on his face, and he would turn and slip away. Then if it rained, he was happy with it, and that caused him to forget about it. Aisha said: “So I asked him about this; he said: “I fear that there will be a punishment inflicted upon my nation.” (Collected by Muslim)
When a wind would blow violently, the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم used to say
(‘O Allah! Verily I ask you for the best good of it, and the best of what is in it, and the best of what You have sent with it, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of it, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what you sent with it.” (Recorded by Muslim)
Allah said about the people of Hud, when He sent upon them the wind: “Then, when they saw it as a dense cloud coming toward their valleys, they said, “This is a good cloud bringing us rain!” Nay, but it is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened! A wind wherein is a painful torment!” [Al-Ahqaf 46:24]
Therefore, they did not think about the cloud which overshadowed them, except that it had an apparent form/existence, perhaps caused by the downpour of rain. Particularly, since they were barren, people who were in need of rain. However, this nebula or cloud was nothing except punishment! Ibn Katheer has conveyed in his tafseer on the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar, he said: “Wind is eight (i.e. has eight parties): four from it is mercy and four from it is punishment.
So as for the winds of mercy: Then they are the winds that scatter clouds, and those winds precede the rain, the winds that come in succession, and the winds that scatter dust.
As for the winds of punishment: Then they are the barren wind, and the violent winds, both of them are in the mainland; and the storm wind, and the roaring wind with thunder, and they are both in the sea.
So if he willed, Glorified is He, to set it in motion with a merciful movement, then He would make it comfortable, generous and a sign of His impending Mercy, and the pollination for the clouds, just as He uses the man to pollinate the woman for pregnancy.
And if Allah wills, He sets it in motion with movements of punishments, then makes it barren, and it brings a grievous punishment…making it a trial upon whomever He wills from amongst His slaves. Then He makes it violent & furious, and causing decay & ruin when it passes through out.
(Tafsir Ibn Katheer) {Volume 3 p. 43 Arabic only version}
’O Muslims, just as the wind is an army from the armies of Allah (that) He inflicts it upon whomever He wills. Then verily it is also a creation from the creation of Allah…He makes it subservient to whomever He wills from amongst His slaves. He, the Master, The Blessed & Most High said, “And to Solomon (we subjected) the wind, strongly raging, running by His command towards the land which We have blessed; and of everything We are the All-Knower.” [Al-Anbiya 21:81]
He, the Most High, also said, “And to Solomon (We subjected) the wind, its morning (stride from sunrise till midnoon) was a month’s (journey) and its afternoon (stride from midday decline of the sun to sunset) was a month’s journey. (Saba 34:12) Therefore, he traveled, in one day, the distance of 2 months. (Zad- al- Maseer Vol. 6 p. 43 Ibn al-jawzee)
Verily, many of the countries, nations, and societies…the majority of them do not pay attention to these winds and hurricanes, considering accountability (punishment). Therefore, they read the weather conditions, and predict the time and place of its occurrences and take precautions because of it. While they busy themselves with precautionary measures and preparation of shelter/refuge… but with all of this, it does nothing, except that it leaves them with nothing but loss and misfortune in their lives, wealth, and total destruction of their possessions!
“O Muslims, verily, from what is befitting is to warn against the attribution of these manifestation to nature…Just like some call it (the anger of nature) likewise some of them say, “Verily, this is a manifestation of nature.” The reasons for it are well known. No connection (is made) to it with regard to the actions of the people and their disobedience. Likewise, it is on the tongues of the some of the journalists and those in charge of notifying the people…to the extent that the people are at the point where they are not afraid of its occurrences, nor do they take a warning from it.
The eminent scholar, Ibn Uthaimeen (May Allah have mercy on him) said:
“And we do not negate the fact that there are tangible reasons for it, but who is the one who provides these tangible reasons? Verily, the tangible reasons do not exist, except with the command of Allah, the Mighty, and Majestic. Allah, by His wisdom, has made for everything, a reason, or a tangible reason. Like this Allah’s Sunnah happens…Almighty and Majestic.
I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed satan “ so We punished each (of them) for his sins, of them were some on whom We set hasib (a violent wind with shower of stones) [As the people of Lut (lot)], and of them, were some who were overtaken by as-saihad (torment-awful cry, (as Thamud’s or Shuaib’s people)], and of them were some whom We caused the earth to swallow [as Qarun (Korah)], and of them were some whom We drowned [ as the people of Nuh (Noah), or the Firaun (Pharaoh) and his people]. It was not Allah who wronged them; rather they wronged them-selves. [Al-‘Ankabut 29:40]
‘O Muslims! Verily from amongst the people is he who complains when he sees wind and dust, and perhaps he had become insolent, so he cursed it and reviles it… and this is a matter that the messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم has forbidden…where he said: “(Do not revile(abuse) the wind. So if you have seen what you dislike then say; Verily, we ask you for the best of this wind, and the best of what is in it, and the best of what you ordered it with, and we seek refuge with you from the evil of this wind, and from the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what you have commanded with.)At- Tirmidhi 7315
He also said: “Do not abuse/revile the wind, for verily, it is from the spirits sent from Allah, the Most high. It brings forth mercy and it brings forth punishment, therefore ask Allah for the best of it and seek refuge with Allah from the evil of it” [Collected by Ahmad and it has been declared authentic by Albani 7316]
From what is befitting is the warning against the statements of some of the people. Such as, “’O Allah! Make it a mercy and do not make a punishment. ‘O Allah! Make it multiple winds (breezes) and do not make it a (violent) wind.) This is an extremely weak narration. [This Hadith has been graded da’eef al-jaami, by Shaykh Al-bani 4461] The only thing that has been confirmed from the Sunnah of the messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم is what we mentioned previously…
Therefore, let us fear Allah,’O Muslims, and let us take the means of success, for verily, the destruction of the people and their success is restricted to what their (own) hands have earned. So let us take a lesson from those around us, and let us take a lesson from what occurs to the people, other than us.
Ibn Mas’ood was speaking in the masjids, “Verily, the One who is wretched is he who becomes wretched in the belly of his mother, and the one who is happy, is he who takes a lesson from others.” (Shades of paradise)
We ask Allah that He guides the misguidance of the Muslims, that He provides us all with the understanding of the religion, and that He makes you and us from the righteous servants!

Therefore, let us fear Allah,’O Muslims, and let us take the means of success, for verily, the destruction of the people and their success is restricted to what their (own) hands have earned. So let us take a lesson from those around us, and let us take a lesson from what occurs to the people, other than us.
Ibn Mas’ood was speaking in the masjids, “Verily, the One who is wretched is he who becomes wretched in the belly of his mother, and the one who is happy, is he who takes a lesson from others.” (Shades of paradise)
We ask Allah that He guides the misguidance of the Muslims, that He provides us all with the understanding of the religion, and that He makes you and us from the righteous servants!

62. No doubt! Verily, the Auliya' of Allah [i.e. those who believe in the Oneness of Allah and fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which he has forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve , -
10. Surah Yunus (Jonah)
Inshallah,shishti Shadin will be safe and i believe this in my heart Allah SWT wil bless her long life as she is one brave,wise,patient and pious Muslimah who trust Allah in hard times and i love it hard times dont harm her sense of humor :wub: May Allah SWT protect this precious jewl.And May Allah SWT help and protect all the Muslims and all the people there and make this storm a sign for them to bring them back to hidayah like it did with the people of Younus AS.

We can pray for kaffirs, for their safety and their guidance, before their death. After they die as kaffirs, we cannot pray for their forgiveness because a kaffir will never be forgiven by Allah. Even Prophet Ibrahim prayed for the nation of Prophet Lot (Lut AS) when the angels told him that they were to be destroyed. But such duas/prayers don't affect Allah's decision. When the time of a nation's destruction comes, then nothing can stop it or delay it. (Note: kaffir means disbeliever who received the message of Islam and rejected it. While an unbeliever who hasn't received the message at all, his/her affiar is in Allah's Hand. Allah has knowledge about his/her faith and life/deeds and will deal with him/her accordingly.)
hurricanes and other "natural disasters" are actually the punishments of Allah for man's wrongdoing. We have many examples of such disasters in the Quran, where Allah distroyed nations for their transgression. However, those disbelievers were distroyed immediately without being given time to escape. Americans on the other hand were given time to escape the hurricane. This storm could've struck in moments instead of coming slowly, giving time to those who wanted to leave its path.
One reason for this may be that the american public is ignorant of Islam. it may be that no one preached to them about Islam so they are ignorant of Islam and Allah gives them time to get guidance. If a people haven't received dawah, then Allah doesn't kill them with His Wrath, as was the case of the nation of Prophet Jonah (Yunus). Prophet Yunis (AS)....... was swallowed by a whale. In the meantime Allah sent a wrath on his people. When they saw the signs of the wrath, they realized that Prophet yunis (AS) was true and so they repented. Allah removed the wrath from them and gave them another chance. When Prophet Yunis was freed from the belly of the whale and returned to his nation, the whole nation accepted islam.
Also, we know from the Quran that when a wrath of Allah is coming, the right thing to do is to escape to a safer place. Prophet Noah (AS) was instructed that there would be a flood and he should take all believers and animal pairs with him in the boat. When the flood started, Prophet Noah (AS) advised his son to join him in the boat. The son, who was an unbeliever, refused and said he would climb a mountain and would be saved. But nothing could save him from Allah's Wrath and so he was also killed in the wrath. (See Surah Al-Araf).
So arrogance, saying "i'll go to a higher floor in the building" or "we live high up" is not right. Had those people realized that hurricane Sandy is a wrath of Allah and Allah may destroy the people with it, they might not have said such things. High-rise buildings can't save anyone, as proven by the news about hurrican sandy. already we have news that hundreds of buildings caught fire and their inhabitants had to be rescued by rescue-workers. And some buildings were shaking because of the high wind speeds.
Those caught in the hurricane with no way of escaping should seek Allah's forgiveness, say astaghfirrullah and who knows Allah might save them from perishing.

Hi you guys - wow I am so touched by all this du3a ma shaa Allah pls keep all our brothers and sisters who are oppressed in du3a more intense in shaa Allah and with every prayer.
We are still without power or electricity or water the hospital next door their generators mal functioned and had to transport their ICU patients I found that amusing given how they were mocking the Egyptian govt. recently for a similar incident that happened during Ramadan but then the Egyptian hospital didn't rate itself top ten in the world as they are so apt at doing here. But that's a digression I hooked my cell to the computer to charge it so I can hear what's going on they still don't know when the power will come back I suspect they just wanna milk it for a while any chance to make money I guess.
I managed one of those good old fashioned showers by heating the kettle lol but I don't think it's a thing I can give up although I can give up just about everything else.
Not sure this storm is a natural act or synthesized by the govt. They live self praising self aggrandizing and undue fear at any rate the worse is over in shaa Allah - cant get in touch with some of my relatives last I heard trees fell down and ruined their power line. I think in my area they just shut it because water and electricity don't mix.
At any rate thank you all for your concern and du3a even in the worse of it I didn't feel fear but felt the doors of heaven open for prayer al7mdullilah I made du3a for all of you and for the Muslims suffering everywhere I ask you to do the same in shaa Allah- it's amazing how many things you can give up or concessions you can make a world full if darkness can make people more aggressive or more resourceful it's a choice.
Glo- not sure why my answer is disappointing the only du3a I can make for a kaffir is for guidance and if they refuse that then why waste du3a that can go to people who do need it and those who are grateful? I owe them nothing and their du3a if they make is also meaningless to a Muslim - anyone who doesn't supplicate to Allah swt supplicates to the devil and that's not something we need!

Due To 'Our' Sins - - Always Refer To YourSelves Too Because This Could Be Happening Because Of Our Ignorance
May Allah Save Us From His Punishment In This World In The Hereafter. May He Guide Us All On To The Straight Path.

We will be without power or sanitation or water for a week they say 
Thank you all for the du3a- this is a good time to think of the plight of our brothers and sisters in Myanmar, Syria, Palestine and many other places who not only live under these stringent conditions but also with a threat to their lives - sob7an Allah just like Ramadan makes us feel their hunger days like these also make us feel the other horrible circumstances they endure!

Not sure what to say except to once again say stay safe sis 
I've been in a situation of showering with pails before and of course as guy I don't need it to be "warmed up" but man I was so happy when I finally returned to warm water from a shower head. Such a blessing.
