The title QUESTION came to my mind reading Kalsoom's following Blog post;
CHUP! – Changing Up Pakistan
My Comments: As good human beings, we all tend to be sympathetic and helpful all in distress. We have seen this over and over. These natural calamities reminds mankind how weak and helpless they are despite all the technological power at their hand. Misery like Earthquake doesn't show God's displeasure to victims and others who are safe, not necessarily Lord is happy with them. JUDGMENT day verdict will be FINAL and these earthquakes are reminders of THE DAY. The Holy Quran repeatedly reminds us of The END. The following verses from Chapter 39 (The Throngs - Al Zumar) describes about THE DAY and aftermath;
And [on that Day,] the trumpet [of judgment] will be sounded, and all [creatures] that are in the heavens and all that are on earth will fall down senseless, unless they be such as God wills [to exempt]. And then it will sound again - and lo! standing [before the Seat of Judgment], they will begin to see [the truth]! (68) And the earth will shine bright with her Sus tainer’s light. And the record [of everyone’s deeds] will be laid bare, and all the prophets will be brought forward, and all [other] witnesses; and judgment will be passed on them all in justice. And they will not be wronged, (69) for every human being will be repaid in full for whatever [good or evil] he has done: and He is fully aware of all that they do. (70) And those who were bent on denying the truth will be urged on in throngs towards hell till, when they reach it, its gates will be opened, and its keepers will ask them, “Have there not come to you apostles from among yourselves, who conveyed to you your Sustainer’s messages and warned you of the coming of this your Day [of Judgment]?” They will answer: “Yea, indeed!” But the sentence of suffering will [already] have fallen due upon the deniers of the truth; (71) [and] they will be told, “Enter the gates of hell, therein to abide!” And how vile an abode for those who were given to false pride! (72) But those who were conscious of their Sus tainer will be urged on in throngs towards paradise till, when they reach it, they shall find its gates wide- open; and its keepers will say unto them, “Peace be upon you! Well have you done: enter, then, this [paradise], herein to abide!” (73) And they will exclaim: “All praise is due to God, who has made His promise to us come true, and has bestowed upon us this expanse [of bliss] as our portion, so that we may dwell in paradise as we please!” And how excellent a reward will it be for those who laboured [in God’s way]! (74) And thou wilt see the angels surrounding the throne of [God’s] almightiness, extolling their Sus tainer’s glory and praise. And judgment will have been passed in justice on all [who had lived and died], and the word will be spoken: “All praise is due to God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!” (75) May ALLAH keeps us on THE RIGHT PATH and be pleased with us. Amen!
