bloggers the world over have probably been inspired by what they have seen from recent events in japan.The images iv seen still send shivers down my spine as i recall the absolute carnage.It got me thinking that whilst we may be insignificant in the face of 10m tsunami,the human spirit and drive to continue despite being overwhelmed is anything but insignificant.
if we really ponder about the course our lives have traveled,its plain to see that we too are resilient in the face of disaster.we may not face disasters of the same magnitude,but we are tested on a regular basis with 'mini disasters' .the difference being you get no press coverage,no relief aid and no trauma counseling .take nothing away from what the Japanese have gone through,im trying to emphasize the fact that we were made stronger than we think. and we get through lifes challenges only with the assistance of our Creator.Furthermore we can identify in some way with the plight of the Japanese and make dua(pray) for their guidance and safety.
Natural disasters are often a punishment from our Creator,a test for the righteous and a warning of the final hour.
Sad to say it affects us not. Our hearts still stray and our actions take us no closer to the mercy of Allah. Be the relief worker in your own life.Sift through the spiritual corpses and work on the survivor.find light where there was once darkness..
until you read again
ma'assalaam
