Here are some of the pictures
taken from various sources to show you how frequently the earthquakes are
coming:
The circles in the diagram are the spots where the recent earthquakes occur. The red circles are for today, the orange ones are of yesterday, yellow ones are from past two weeks and the pink ones are of earthquakes in past 5 years.
Some more figures from another source:
These unusual signs were predicted
by our Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) 1400 years
ago.
Regular occurrences of earthquake
are surely a sign that the beginning of the Final hour is near according to Qur’an
and Sunnah. This may be a mercy for the Ummah and expiation for its sins.
On many occasions our beloved
Messeger (PBUH) has told about the earthquakes as the signs of the hour.
Abu Moosa Al-Ash’ari (r.a)
narrated that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“My Ummah is a nation that is
blessed; it will not be punished in the hereafter because Allah has caused its
punishment to come in this world, in the form of killing, earthquakes and
turmoil.” (Ahmad and Al-Haakim)
These frequent earthquakes may
also be considered a punishment for those people who have caused great
corruption on the face of the earth.
On another occasion Abu Hurayrah
(r.a) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said:
“The hour will not begin until
knowledge is taken away and many earthquakes occur.” (Bukhari)
Abd-Allaah ibn Hawaalah Al-Azdi (r.a)
narrated that Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“When you see the caliphate
settled in the holy land, calamities, earthquakes and terrific events will have
drawn near. On that day the last hour will be as nearer to mankind as my hand
to your head.” (Abu Dawood)
