Prophesies about end time talk of earthquakes and famines and wars in
holy Bible :
Mark 13:8
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There
will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the
beginning of birth pains.
In the prophesies of Prophet Muhammad SAW earthquakes and famines are
forecast. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Hour (Last Day)
will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken
away , earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly,
afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow
amongst you." ( Hadith No. 85 Vol 1). (Book #17,
Hadith #146)
There have been minor jolts of earthquake in Afghanistans and Pakistan
three times during last week of October 2009. Then an earthquake hit
southern Iran measuring 6.1 on the Richterscale, causing many
casualties. A strong quake had devasted thinly populated northern
Areas of Pakistan in October 2005. Irani authorities are so nervous
that they plan to shift their capital to an earthquake proof city. But
they are forgetting that nothing can stop the wrath of Allah SWT
except for His mercy. During the 2005 earthquake only one high rise
apartment building was affected, in Islamabad. One of the twin towers
was razed to ground. People say the residents were corrupt police
officers and civil servants who were engaged in wine and women even in
the holy month of Ramadan were killed. The other tower stayed unhurt
by the quake, where traders and businessmen lived. Pakistani's should
not have never forgotten that they were spared in 2005 when only
thinly populated areas were affected. If the quake had hit one of the
major cities, it could have had catastrophic consequences.
Israel has been hit badly by drought and so are India,Iran and China.
Pakistan is Masha Allah the only country in the region which has
plenty of rainfall and abundant canal water for harvesting best
Basmati rice, golden wheat and juicy sugarcane. Wheat is such a
nutrituios grain that Prophet Isa ( Christ son of Mary), used to ask
his disciples not to eat it because they could not offer enough thanks
for it to Allah SWT. We eat the best quality wheat or export it to
mint money and it never occurs to us that we owe a word of thanks to
Allah. Our beloved prophet Muhammad only ate barley (Jau) and so did
Moses, Christ and Job. There is no guarantee of continued supply of
our staple food, except by thanksgiving. Holy Quran says:
And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks , I
will give you more ; but if you are thankless , verily My punishment
is indeed severe." ( ÓæÑÉ ÅÈÑÇåíã , Ibrahim,
Chapter #14, Verse #7 )
May Allah bless us with the wisdom to understand that no one has the
right or claim on Allah's bounties and favors, except by offering
thanks by sharing them with our less fortunate brothers and
sisters.
