Indonesia in recent days seems to be ins and out of disaster. Earthquakes, floods, landslides, and the crash of the plane made the grief in muslim hearts deepen.


Not infrequently, the disaster that hit the earth is associated with the cause. Some people call the disaster a form of rebuke from Allah SWT, as well as the result of environmentally unfriendly behavior to immorality that is still carried out.

The Qur'an alludes to disasters and calamities caused by man himself. Allah said in (QS. Ar Ruum: 41).

‘’Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that ((Allah)) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil) QS. Ar Ruum: 41).

Of course, in order for us to be free from disasters and calamities, it must avoid actions that can damage nature. Mankind must refuse to do harm to nature.

When disaster strikes, people to other people must help each other and love each other. The Prophet said thus: ارْحَمُوا تُرْحَمُوا

It means: "Have mercy, you will be pitied"

Avoid doing things that can damage nature. And help those who have been afflicted by the calamity. May we be avoided from calamities and calamities. Amin...
