Popular Islamic speaker and scholar Mizanur Rahman Azhari posted an important warning on his Facebook page regarding the recent earthquake in Dhaka.
He asked people to reflect on their lives and spiritual state in light of natural disasters:
“ভেবে দেখেছেন কি? আজ ভূমিকম্পের তীব্রতা আরো ভয়াবহ হলে খুব কম সংখ্যক মানুষের শেষ আমল হতো ফজরের নামাজ। সেই লিস্টে আপনি থাকতেন তো? উত্তর ‘না’ হলে, শুধরে নেওয়ার সুযোগ রয়েছে এখনো। এই কম্পনে টের না পেলেও, চূড়ান্ত কম্পন কিন্তু ঠিকই টের পাইয়ে দিবে। তাই আসুন, সময় থাকতে নিজেদের শুধরে নিই।”
Translation: “Have you thought? If today’s earthquake had been stronger, very few people would have performed the Fajr prayer in their final deeds. Would you have been on that list? If the answer is ‘no’, there is still time to correct yourself. Even if you do not feel this tremor, the final shaking will surely make you feel it. So let’s reform ourselves while there is time.”
Quranic Reference
Mizanur Rahman Azhari also quoted the Quran to remind people of God’s power:
“তোমরা কি নিশ্চিত হয়ে গেছো যে, যিনি আসমানে রয়েছেন তিনি তোমাদেরকেসহ এ জমিনকে ধ্বসিয়ে দেবেন না, অতঃপর আকস্মিকভাবে তা থর থর করে কাঁপতে থাকবে?” [সূরা আল-মুলক : ১৬]
Translation: “Are you sure that He who is in the heavens will not cause this land to collapse upon you, and then it will suddenly tremble?” [Surah Al-Mulk: 16]
