155. And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.).
156. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allâh we belong and truly, to Him we shall return."
Inshallah may Allah make it easy on them.

inna lillahi wa inna ilayhee rajioun :'( :'(
so many earthquakes these days.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar

May Allaah grant patience and help upon the suffering and have mercy upon them all, Aameen.
Indeed we must all remember our Muslim brothers and sisters in our du'as and help out any way we can. Especially since we are in the blessed month of Ramadhaan, let us take this opportunity to increase our du'as and donate to all causes Insha'Allaah,
May Allaah accept from us and answer our du'as, Aameen!

Re: Earthquakes in Pakistan, Indian, and Afghanistan!
Almost a third of Pakistan hit. 7.6 on the richter scale; lasted 6 minutes. Thousands feared dead. Most of Azad Kashmir has been reduced to rubble. Other than the humanitarian side, the economic impact will be huge.
May Allah help the affected. I hope the (non-existent) Ummah (the one Pakistan always puts its neck out for - take the Iran vote for example, after what Iran has been doing to+in+against Pakistan) plays its part in the relief effort, although I doubt it, excluding some places.

Yes the Earthquakes were horible.
It was a 7.6 on the rechiter scale which is huge and lasted for 7 minutes.
Eventhough I do not live in the area myself but from relative accounts it sounded terrible.
The earth shook with such extremely violent force that houses and buildings shook like paper held in front of a fan.
Mountains literally cracked, roads were uprooted. Buildings collpsed.
Heavy Cars where hurled off the face of the earth like pebbles under the feet.
People were trapped in falling buildings, one incident which particularly caught my attention was one of 250 girls crushed in a school collapse.
The major earth quake was followed by 5.0 after shocks which are still huge!! But only lasted for 20 seconds each. The after shocks continued for hours intermittenly.
One of the buildings in front of the building where my cousin lives fell like a stack of piled up books toppling over.
But Alhamdolillh despite all this the beautiful character of the Muslims shine forth - not a single looting incident was reported - relief efforts (officially) started only 2 hours after all this occured. Civilians opened their houses to others, companies and individuals donated equipment and their own service for free to all - there was no shortage of food, water or blood because of the overwhelming numbers of volunteers Alhamdolillah. People, normal civilians were so zealous in their effots that they tied roped to themselves and decended in the ruins of buildings to save individuals. It was over all a heart warming sight to see the Muslims working with such close unity and co-operation to help each other Masha'Allah!
The earth quake was so huge that it has effected 70% of Punjab province and 80% of the NWFP province. Communications in most areas has been restored with the exception of the hardest hit areas.
