Its not a myth. I heard a speech by a very well educated islamic scholor (not your typical mullah type) and he clearly stated that any thing that concerns the future is haram. He even went as far to say that you should try to refrain from fortune cookies if possible, but its not like i believe in them anyways so thats not a biggie. But im not even pretend to be holier than thou cuz i’m not so lets leave this topic alone. I was just stating what i know and lets just leave it at that.
But the good thing is that there has been no tsunami reported as of yet and there is a very good chance that there won’t be any. Lets all hope than i didn’t speak too soon.
i've heard, don't know if its true, that even if they are accurate fortune tellers and "prophets"-that these people channel the jinn and the jinn are able to find out bits and pieces of things that are going to happen but the people who associate with these jinn to make themselves look like they know are committing major sin
again, this is something i heard long ago, so if its incorrect my apologies
lol, its not like my prayers will make a difference anyways. And, fortunatly the time by which a tsunami is supposed to hit the coast has passed already and there has been no tsunami reported, which means its over. Thank god.
Magic is true, it exists and it is mentioned in Quran yet it is haram. When something is haraam it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Same thing goes for palmistry and prophecies. They are haraam but they do exist. So I can’t shrug off this sollog guy even if he makes money out of predictions. If earthquake is so easy to predict then why no one else predicted today’s earthquake?
`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: Some people asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about soothsayers. He (PBUH) said, "They are of no account.‘’ Upon this they said to him, "O Messenger of Allah! But they sometimes make true predictions.‘’ Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches (from the angels) and whispers into the ears of his friend (the soothsayers) who will then mix more than a hundred lies with it.‘’
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
The narration in Al-Bukhari is: "The angels descend in the clouds and mention matters which has been decreed in heaven; Satan steals a hearing (listens to it stealthily) and communicates it to the soothsayers who tell along with it a hundred lies.‘’
University of Ulster predicted earthquake (Science not Sollog)
Science predicted the earthquake, not Sollog, he just reads the BBC.

build-up of stress on faults in Sumatra following the Indonesian earthquake is likely to trigger another large quake and perhaps a tsunami.
That is the claim made in Nature by a team from the University of Ulster, UK.
The slip that caused last year’s devastating quake placed increased stress on the Sumatran fault and on the adjacent undersea Sunda Trench.
A new rupture could trigger a magnitude 7-7.5 quake on land and a magnitude 8-8.5 quake beneath the sea, they say.
John McCloskey, University of Ulster
The 2004 earthquake occurred when the deep, flat Indian plate slipped under the Burma plate. Major earthquakes tend to cluster in these subduction zones where two or more plates of the Earth’s crust grind and overlap.
When a quake takes place, the displacement causes the surrounding crust to become distorted. This places stress on other fault lines and structures in the area. Researchers from the University of Ulster at Coleraine used information about displacement following December’s magnitude 9.0 quake to calculate the stresses it placed on the surrounding region.
Re: University of Ulster predicted earthquake (Science not Sollog)
lol, yep, as i said before, this is all BS. sollog or whatever is for people with a little too much time in thier hands to spare and a little too much money in their pockets to waste. This was expected. Its not a completely seperate earthquake. It was an aftershock to the one that happend on boxing day. People have to realize that the guy sollog isn't a dumbass so ofcourse he wont make dumb predictions so people can lose all credibility over him. He knew that an earthquake is over due pretty soon so he took the risk to predict it and thus it paid off. A well informed man? No doubt! A prophet? NO CHANCE.

:D
Let start a prediction of our own...
When the 12th night of the sacred month has passed and the moon is rounder than a dinner plate there will be a cataclysm that will cause many to change.
