Bismi Llahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim:

(Qur’ān 64:11). ‘Mā ‘Asāba Min Musībatin 'Illā Bi’idhni Allāhi Wa Man Yu’umin Bi-Llāhi Yahdi Qalbahu’, ‘No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah. And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heart.’ Sadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says when a disaster occurs - everything happens with the order of Allah ﷻ. Everything regarding people, how long they will live and when they will die, all of this happens with the order of Allah ﷻ.

Certainly, a big disaster has occurred. It is a big thing. It has happened with the order of Allah ﷻ. We cannot do anything against it. What we should do is rely on Allah ﷻ and ask for Allah’s ﷻ help so that Allah ﷻ protects us.

As we are living in the end of times, things like this happen a lot. May Allah ﷻ protect us. Yet, the best protection for everything is Sadaqah. People should give Sadaqah and ask for the protection of Allah ﷻ from accidents and troubles. People are protected with Sadaqah.

Otherwise, it is unknown what may happen to people. The lives of people are tied to a cotton thread. They are under command of Allah ﷻ. And Allah ﷻ does whatever He ﷻ wants. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give patience to people. It is a tough and great disaster. Allah ﷻ will help them insha’Allah. He ﷻ will give them rewards and Thawab. And He ﷻ will protect the rest of them insha’Allah.

What can we say? You cannot go against the order of Allah ﷻ. “We do this and that.” When the command of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla comes, no solution is effective. Nevertheless, it is good to take precautions; physical precautions and spiritual precautions like Sadaqah, repenting and asking for forgiveness and protection of Allah ﷻ. These precautions must be taken.

Not only physical precautions, but also spiritual precautions are necessary. Giving Sadaqah and seeking refuge in Allah ﷻ continuously by asking for protection of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ is the greatest protection for us. Allah ﷻ will protect us whenever He ﷻ wants. Even if nothing happens, He ﷻ will still protect us. Who doesn’t rely on Allah ﷻ won’t escape the order of Allah ﷻ no matter what he does. Therefore, relying on Allah ﷻ and seeking refuge in Allah ﷻ are necessary.

May Allah ﷻ help us. May Allah ﷻ protect us. “It is coming like this and like that” - Protection against it is through Dua to Allah ﷻ. Otherwise, the condition of people is tough. May Allah ﷻ help us.

As we said, as we are in the end of times, our Holy Prophet ﷺ had mentioned that in the end of times there would be many floods, earthquakes, fires and other disasters. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ give patience to people insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ help them. It is tough in the winter. May Allah ﷻ help us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
