At-Tabaraani narrated that Sahl ibn Sa’d said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“At the end of time there will be earthquakes, slander, transmutation into animals [or disfigurement, deformity], when stringed instruments and female singers will be widespread, and wine will be permitted.” (Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3665).

Undoubtedly the earthquakes that are happening these days are among the signs which Allaah uses to frighten His slaves. All the earthquakes and other things which happen and cause harm and injury to people are because of shirk and sins, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):

“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much” [al-Shoora 42:30]

“Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allaah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself” [al-Nisaa’ 4:79]

Al-‘Allaamah Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Allaah sometimes gives the earth permission to breathe, which is when major earthquakes happen; this makes people feel scared, so they repent, give up sins, pray to Allaah and feel regret [for their sins]. When there had been an earthquake, some of the Salaf said: your Lord is warning you. When Madeenah was struck by an earthquake, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with you) addressed the people and said: if there is another earthquake, I will not stay here with you.”

aoa ,
i believe that all these natural disasters r the result of anger of ALLAH . there r many surahs in QUARN in which HE clearly explained that how and why ALLAH gives punishment to the nations .to be v realistic no doubt that we r muslim but if we give a short look to our works which r v perfomiing in our life, certainly there r v few person who can be called SACHA
MUSLIM . it is nothing but the way which ALLAH wants to show HIS people, that they follow the rightEous and guided path. and the people must act according to HIS teachings ( ALQURAN).
I PRAY THAT ALLAH GIVES US THE RIGHT PATH TO LIVE LIFE ACCODING TO HIS iINSTRUCTIONS. AAMEN
