i don’t know what to title this thread. Ajab waqt para hai indeed on this ummah. In virtually every corner and niche of this world, there is devastation and despair. When 2005 kicks in, Insha’Allah it will see more tranquility, less instability and less of our sectarianism and racism that is eating apart at the very fabric that ties all Muslims as one.
Think about the sheikhs’ palaces, their luxurious lifestyles, the elite classes in all Muslim countries; they might as well be residing on a separate planet than the rest of us for all the “reality” that exists in their lifestyles. i think never has history witnessed such a disparity between the haves and the have-nots. But will we open our eyes before our self-inflicted devastation destroys us to the core? Somehow i rather doubt it.

Worry beads remain in the hand of a man who died praying December 27, 2003, a day after a major earthquake rocked the southeastern Iranian city of Bam. International rescue workers hacked desperately through flattened debris for survivors and cemeteries overflowed in Iran’s ancient Silk Road city Saturday after the earthquake killed more than 20,000 people. President George W. Bush (news - web sites), who once branded Iran part of an ‘axis of evil’ developing weapons of mass destruction, as well as other world leaders rushed to offer whatever help they could to the Islamic Republic.

do you see this earthquake as a sign by God?

I dont know what u wanna say but these are reminders for musilms coz they know every thing what is the rite way and what is the wrong way but they are still not following the path which the God have shown to us , by this i dont mean that ppl which die in the earth quake are bad ppl or bad muslims but simple reminder from God.
Allah hum sub per reham karay :Ameen:
Allah is Sakhat waqt ko asaan ker day :Ameen:
The is Mohsen (left) and Mohammed. They have been friends for five months.
Many Bam children have suffered from severe emotional problems, such as nightmares and disruptive behaviour.
Mohsen and Mohamed have bonded over their love of football and martial arts.
When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion
And the earth throws up her burdens (from within),
And man cries (distressed): 'What is the matter with her?'
On that Day will she declare her tidings:
For that thy Lord will have given her inspiration
On that Day will men proceed in companies sorted out, to be shown the deeds that they (had done).
Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it!
And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it.
Nature's way of showing that Allah is watching us. If muslims are suffering its because we have gone astray. Recently a survey also mentioned that an earthquake will strike UAE & this is quite serious.
