Assalam o Alaikum.
Somehow we started placing our trust in means rather than The Creator of means. We have money to control our room temperatures, so we barely look out of the window how rest of the people are struggling with scorching heat or suffocating humidity not realising it is Allah's mercy that we have money and those machine function by His accord to tame the temprature. We think, we hired the best surgeon in town but do not realize who holds his hand during surgeries. We buy reliable cars so that we reach point A to B safely not realising who is making it all possible on suspended planet held by gravity and revolving at the speed of 67000 miles per hour and rotating at the speed of 1000 miles per hour. Ayahs and Hadith flow from our mouths not realising we had to act upon those as well. We share countless moral stories to our contact list from Dawn to dusk forgetting to prostate at those hours. We fail to distinguish Halal from Haram, Riba from Beih, Facilitation from Bribe, Earning from Corruption, Truth from Lies and Right from Wrong. We are limited to our comfort zones in complete disregard to a collapsed system of governance. We claim to be Hussainis sans Hussainiyat. If following incident doesn't send shudders through your spine then something is seriously wrong; Zainab Razi Allah unha, the grand daughter of Nabi AS as she entered Yazid's court after Karbala, he (arrogantly) recited 26th Ayah of Al-e-Imran:
(3:26) Say: 'O Allah, Lord of all dominion! You give dominion to whom You will, and take away dominion from whom You will, and You exalt whom You will, and abase whom You will.
How wrong was he? How wrong are the Yazids of today from whose mouths Ayahs flow like a mountain spring.
Though we are becoming indifferent to Allah swt’s indignation yet we need to look inward and seek His forgiveness. Three earthquakes within 22 hours between 8:06 am 5 August to 5:32 am 6 August 2023 originating from two different epicentres is not a usual occurrence. Isn’t it self explanatory? Does it not indicate Allah swt’s disapproval of our remorseless behaviour. Yes, we deserve no less but we must do excessive Astagfar before Allah’s anger turns into wrath and little quakes turn into Zilzal. May Allah protect us. Ameen
Peace and blessings on Rasool Allah SAW who left us His Sunnah for protection. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to supplicate: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from my house falling on me, I seek refuge in Thee from falling into an abyss, I seek refuge in Thee from drowning burning and decrepitude. I seek refuge in Thee from the devil harming me at the time of my death, I seek refuge in Thee from dying in Thy path while retreating, and I seek refuge in Thee from dying of the sting of a poisonous creature."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ صَيْفِيٍّ، مَوْلَى أَفْلَحَ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَرِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَدْعُو " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَدْمِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ التَّرَدِّي وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ وَالْحَرَقِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَتَخَبَّطَنِي الشَّيْطَانُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ مُدْبِرًا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ لَدِيغًا " .
