Two moderate earthquakes have struck the Middle East just before 6:00am on Sunday morning. The first one, measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale, was recorded 182km southeast of Minab, Iran, the USGS said, adding that the quake was registered at a depth of 10 km. Just six minutes later, Yemen experienced a 5.4 jolt, according to the agency. Also located some 10 km below the surface, the quake's epicenter was registered 136km east of Sayhut. So far there are no reports of casualties or widespread destruction.
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.”
The Prophet said, "The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious learned men), earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow amongst you." (See Hadith No. 85 Vol 1).
