Mega earthquake and tsunami in north Japan, 11 March 2011

Dari Huzaifah bin Usaid ra bahawa Rasulullah saw telah bersabda , “Sesungguhnya kiamat tidak akan terjadi sehingga kamu melihat sepuluh tanda . . . . .” Kemudian baginda menyebut antara lain “dan tiga gempa bumi iaitu gempa di wilayah timur, di wilayah barat dan di Jazirah Arab.” (Shahih Muslim Syarah Nawawi 18:27 – 28)




Huzaifah ibn Usaid Ghifari, the companion of the Prophet, said,

"Allah's Messenger came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion). He asked: What are you discussing? (The Companions) replied: We are discussing (the subject of) the Last Hour. Thereupon he said: It will not come until you see ten signs. And (in this connection) he made a mention of the 'smoke', 'Dajjal', the 'beast', the 'rising of the sun from the west', the 'descent of Jesus son of Mary', 'Gog and Magog', 'sinkings of the earth in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia' at the end of which 'fire would burn forth from Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly' (i.e., the place where mankind will be assembled for judgment)."
(Sahih Muslim)


Last Friday, March 11 2011, rest of the world have been fed with news on Japanese earthquake of 8.9 (some said 9.0) magnitude. Can we imagine, how they the Japanese face the struck? How the powerfulness of nature catastrophic (those believe that nature of world)? BUT!!! Have we come across in our mind in our thinking, is it really the nature which happen itself? Does no such Supremacy Hand control or manage or even supervise the movement the motion of that nature?

As posted above, a hadith from Sahih Muslim, the end of the day, the earth will be sank into. Oh, how hopeless all of us. We cannot even hold a single touch of the quake which then brought up the tsunami or tidal wave or anything. We just afford to observe the motion of the wave struck without asking is there anyone who believe God exists, for Almighty had told us, in one place, if there is a group of believers and a group of disbelievers, if Almighty wants to punish with what the disbelievers do even though there are believers, He will just punish all.

Just now, came in my mind, last year, I went to Indonesia. To be specific, Kecamatan Cisayong, Tasik Malaya. That place was struck by earthquake of 7.3 magnitude. Though I went there 6 7 8 months (not really sure which date was actually the catastrophic occurred) after the disaster,yet, still people there strive very hard to overcome and find the strength of theirs. Houses fell down, road cracked, poverty, lack of medication. Felt mere sorrow upon their living which I couldn't bear in my mind of this if it occurs in my own land.

To sum up, of all this so-called disasters, catastrophic, nature unpleasant, yet, I must say, there is something Rabul Jalil, God the Almighty wants to show us. He will punish those who disobey what have been told on how to appreciate and believe of what we suppose to.

Repent before late.
