Love God, Care for Humankind

He will be sent when people differ & the Earth quakes !

Some 1400 years ago, Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, said :

“I bear good tidings for you concerning Al Mahdi.
He will be sent when people differ and the earth quakes!”

“Al Mahdi is from the family of the House. Allah will ‘yuslihu’ ( prospereth/upholdeth ) him in a night.”

“At the end of Time, a Caliph will come who distributes wealth without count”

Reported by Abi Said Al Khudri in the reference of Abi Dawood, Al Hakim, At-Tirmizi, Ahmad, ibn Hibban, Muslim, Al Tabarani, Al Barudi and Abu Nuaym.

Verily God is not in the wrong about the major earth disasters He puts upon humans worldwide.

With God’s power, when He desires an event to take place, there is no one capable of preventing it. He does not intend to tyrannise His creations, He wants us humans to be aware that we are the ones tyrannising ourselves with wars and injustice worldwide.

The estimated 33, 000 confirmed human death toll in Sichuan earthquake still can’t compare to the death toll of 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945 during the atomic bombings of both cities.

Refering to the most recent Nargis cyclone in Burma and the Sichuan earthquake in China, God wanted it to happen that way. God really revealed His power to humans and that is fair.

God gives prosperity to His servants and He himself tried us with tribulations, and that is His absolute right. Either good or bad, in both there is wisdom behind each one.

As He is the Most Just, Most Wise, Most Loving and Caring and The Most Expert in making decisions.

Life is not complete if we are moulded by only part of  the package. Both happiness and sufferings are balances  that are very much needed by humans.  God wants it to be that way.  With that, He teaches His servants to become humble and thankful human beings..

Our lives are not ours, it belongs to God. We didn’t ask God to create us. But He created us anyway and allowed us to live on this earth and endeavour and savour the beautiful fruits of love and life. If we can accept fate, our lives will be peaceful. But if we reject fate, we have to battle with our own feelings and that is very painful. 

We live on this earth only for a short term, relatively about a milli-second, compare to the eternity of the hereafter that awaits us.

“God, if that is Your decision, I, Your humble servant, is willing to accept anything you bestow upon us, no matter how bitter it is. This bitterness is necessary for me to feel humble and weak, and be kind to other felow human beings”

Dear God, please replace the sufferings of those who had died in the disasters with forgiveness and list their names as people who have done good deeds in Your path..”

Ameen, Ya Rabbal Alameen
