Pakistan Earthquake (includes relife contacts)

Al Hamdu Lillahi al lathy 3afana mima ibtala bihi katheeran min 3ebadihi wa fadalana 3ala katheeran min man khlaka tafdeela.

الحمد لله الذي عافانا مما ابتلى به كثيرا من عباده و فضلنا على كثيرا ممن خلق تفضيلا

Allahomma Ajerhoum, Allahoma 3afihoum, Allahoma Ir7amhoum war7amna be ra7matika wahdina ila al sirata al mostakeem. Allahoma ina thalmna anfosana, wa nathlem anfosna beda3fina, faghfir lana wa lil moe'meneen. Allahoma inaka kadir 3ala an tonhya al 7ayata 3ala wajih el ard wa ta2tya bekawmin to7ebhoum wa ye7ebounaka, walaken 3afiyataka wara7matuka wasi3at kol shay2. Ighfir lana wa ihdina, wa afikna min ghaflatina. Allahoma ina nashkou ilayaka da3fa noufesena, fa2a3ena 3alyha. Allahoma ajerna men da3fena, wa thalatina, wa nuqsani imanina, wa a3na 3ala 7osni 3badatika wa thikraka talama a7yaytana. Allahoma Ija3al akhira a3malina fiha reda wa kuboul. Allahoma la tometna ila wa2anta radin 3ana.

Allahoma la tometna ila wa2anta radin 3ana Allahoma la tometna ila wa2anta radin 3ana.. ameen ameen ameen.

اللهم أجرهم اللهم احفظهم اللهم ارحمهم وارحمنا برحمتك واهدنا الى الصراط المستقيم. اللهم انا ظلمنا انفسنا ونظلم انفسنا بضعفنا فاغفر لنا وللمؤمنين. اللهم انك قادر على أن تنهي الحياة على وجه الأرض وتأتي بقوم تحبهم ويحبونك ولكن عافيتك ورحمتك وسعت كل شيئ. إغفر لنا واهدنا وافقنا من غفلتنا. اللهم إنا نشكو إليك ضعف انفسنا فأعنا عليها. أللهم اجرنا من ضعفنا وذلاتنا ونقصان إيماننا و أعنا على حسن عبادتك وذكرك طالما أحييتنا. اللهم إجعل أخرأعمالنا فيها رضا وقبول.

اللهم لا تمتنا إلا و أنت راض عنا. اللهم لا تمتنا إلا و أنت راض عنا. اللهم لا تمتنا إلا و أنت راض عنا. أمين أمين أمين.

Oh Allah save them, protect and relieve them, Oh Allah have mercy on them and on us all with your mercy, guide us to the straight path. Oh Allah, we have done ourselves wrong and still do with our weaknesses, forgive us and the believers. Oh Allah you are capable of ending all life forms on earth and are capable of creating others that you shall love and they love you, but your mercy is bountiful. Forgive us and guide us, and wake us up from our negligence and stray. Oh Allah we seek your help from our souls' weaknesses, help us to overcome it, and our falls, and our weakness in faith, and help us to worship you and remember you always as long as we live. Oh Allah let our last deeds be in accordance to your acceptance. Oh Allah do not end our lives until you are pleased with us. Oh Allah do not end our lives until you are pleased with us. Oh Allah do not end our lives until you are pleased with us. Amen amen amen.


I personally cannot help but think, when will our turn come? Will it? Or is it just for us to wake up and realize how negligent we have become where the obedience and remembrance of Allah is concerned. Moslems have drifted so much from religion. We all have become so weak despite all what we have been told. What is sarcastic, is we have been told before hand of so many incidents and natural disasters that shall happen due to this negligence, and yet, we have not exerted the least effort to take what Allah and his prophet said seriously.

I once heard that one can change his destiny. We have been given choices in life. A road which will lead to Allah's anger and the other his blessings. In this case I mean knowing certain things and being given warnings, we have not tried to beware or work hard to avoid them. I guess we have just not taken it seriously enough. I do not know if this interpretation is true or not, but I kind of feel it is.

Maybe the reason God told Prophet Muhammed of these things was to test us, to see what we will make out of them. Will we try to avoid them? Or will we just take them for granted. Maybe it was out of the mercy of God that we were told, but maybe none of us properly understood the message. God repetitively referred to Himself as "the merciful" and that is what makes me say what I just did in the few lines above.

We have even been given supplications and prayers to use to protect ourselves from harm of others and for our own protection against weaknesses whether it be through Satan or the weak inner self. Question is, how many of us use them? Not to mention some people do not even know these supplications exist. Worst of all some do know but do not believe in them. Sub7an Allah. We humans are so fallible. I pray that we all do our best to be better people in the eyes of God.

Prophet Mohammed has told us of what is happening now, that it is one (amongst many) of the signs of the closeness of Judgment day. There are many signs, Major and Minor according to His teachings (Allahoma Saly wa salem 3elih), and many have already occurred and are still. I guess it is about time we start working hard.

I cannot help but always try to put myself in others situations. I cry. I sob. I feel heartache for all those people especially the children where ever the crises take place. Children Like my son, some younger, some same age, some older, men and women of all ages as well.

I have a heartache right now. I've been getting serious physical heart aches lately. So much has been happening!

I pray I personally be better. I know I am not good enough. Not ready enough for death. I get scared, I know God is kind, but that does not mean I or you get lazy and only count on that. I am trying but I know I should try harder, we all must try harder.

I am in so much pain right now. I thought I wanted to do something. The least was to post this.

Villagers trekking down from parts of the Kashmir mountains that have not been visited since the weekend's earthquake say they have left behind scenes of death and desperation. The official death toll from the quake at 7.6 magnitude the biggest to hit the region in a century remained at 21,000 in Pakistan and slightly over 1,200 in India. Picture taken October 10, 2005.

Jazaki Allaho khayran ya roora, will e-mail them to you isa.

Aisha,
First of all I am sorry for not posting the klukked thingy yet, but as you can see i have been way over my head with those past events. Was totally unable to post anything else. I felt those were a priority, please forgive me.

Aisha, those pictures were the least painful and horrific. I watched how some children were trapped under the rubbles of buildings. Ya Rab help them and give them comfort, especially the little ones.

I did post other pictures because i did not want anyone to feel discomfort while reading. I pray God reliefs them and any other people in distress.

Yes al hamd lillah that there is a good and kind spirit in our hearts. It is a blessing that we Owe God a big thank you for. Thank you Allah...always.

I sometimes wish i could fly to those places and do something with my own hands. I really wish i had the resources sometimes for this kind of thing. Allah knows. But the duaa and whatever we can donate are the least we can do.

I am not belittling the duaa, but i can't help but have this urge and be there. I am there with my heart and prayers and i am sure many others are too.

rabbena yesabbarhom, we ye3afeehom we ba2eit belad el moslemeen.

My first thought was: La Illaha ila ant, sub7anaka iny konto min al thalemeen!

I felt the need to do anything, the least was the post. Jazaki Allaho khayran.

Me, I am sure each one of you does have that urge. I just know it..

Iam sure any one amongst those who are not selfish and i know that there are many good people out there, want to do something and i know are doing insha'Allah.

Ya rab Ekrem all those in distress anywhere around this earth and forgive us for our sins. Amen.
