💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 When a woman is about to give birth, she experiences mild contractions every once in a while. She goes through frequent labor contractions prior to the actual date of delivery, signalling that the time her baby comes out is almost approaching. Similarly, frequent occurrence of earthquakes is from the signs of the coming of the Day of Judgment.
Before the advent of the Day of Resurrection, Allah the Almighty can cause earthquakes to take place occasionally as warnings and reminders for us to prepare for the final meeting.
Alhamdulillah we are granted many chances to do Tawbah/repent (from uploading TikTok videos, gossiping, addiction to music, neglecting the obligatory prayers, not dressing modestly etc.), improve our faith/Imaan, and rectify ourselves so once Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala evaluates our accounts on Yawm Al-Qiyaamah we have nobody to blame but our own selves.
Earthquakes occuring frequently also remind us how earth isn't our real abode. The different kinds of trials we encounter encourage us to seek Allah's Help through wholehearted Du'as, to remember we're just Allah's servants who should avoid arrogance as much as possible, and to prefer striving for Jannatul Ferdaus where its inhabitants can be guaranteed to be safe, secure and at peace everlastingly.
📖 Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah, without sin or cutting family ties, but that Allah will give him one of three answers: He (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) will quickly fulfill his supplication, He will store it for him in the Hereafter, or He will divert an evil from him similar to it." They said, “In that case we will ask for more.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Allah has even more.”
