Japan - the Unfortunate Land of Earthquakes!

Greetings!


This is in reference to CNN news headed, "Major Earthquake Strikes off the Northern Coast of Japan"

It is reported that an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 hit the northern coast of Japan today at 10:57am. Resultant tsunami were 10 - 20 cm in height and are hence qualified as "small tsunamis". Also, it is said that this earthquake was in fact the after-shock of the May 11 massive Earthquake recorded at a magnitude of 9.0!




A country as developed and forward in technology as Japan, had been turned to ruins after the May 11 misfortune. It is also worth mentioning that May 11 had also brought about a nuclear disaster when the cooling systems of three nuclear reactors crashed followed by a meltdown of the reactors. The resultant exposure of nuclear rays posed a threat to the devastated nation that survived the earthquake putting their lives in ultimate danger.


I believe these disasters are not just miracles of science, but also the signs of doom mentioned 1400 years ago in the Holy Book of us Muslims - The Holy Quran. Significant mention of these signs would also be present in other Holy Books as well. It seems time has come for people to realize there is a Sublime Being controlling the universe and that there is no such thing as "by chance" except maybe in gambling. Time to accept our destiny. Time to throw away the veil behind which we hide our faces and believe we are invisible - quite like the ostrich's futile defensive mechanisms. Time for Acceptance and Repentance, No Time for Ignorance anymore.


May Allah Bless Us All.
Peace.
