Shaken

This morning, I was woken with " Earthquake hits Islamabad" and found members of the family all gathered around the telly. Relatives and friends living in the hit areas where called and found well. Sighs of relief all around, till focusing on the news, the plight of the people, our people was brought to our doorsteps. Realising that the areas hit in India were majorily Muslim settlements was even more heart-wrenching.

I know scientifically its all proven, plates moving, blah, blah, blah, blah...but then the thought that, the Holy Quran does say about Earthquakes, Storms, other natural disasters as God's Wrath on the disbelievers holds more credibility.

Thus, have we then fallen in that category? Have our lives become so self involved that we forget where we have to return. What awaits us in the HereAfter?I know Im not as religious or practise Islam the way it needs to be but, from time to time, my conscience gives me a nudge. This is one of those times.

Please pray for those who are lost in the rubbles of what once were abodes of the living. And pray for those who are left behind.
