I'm sure, by now, everyone has seen on the news or read on the internet about the Earthquake in Iran that was also felt in Pakistan, India, Dubai and a lot of different countries.
It is said to be 7.9 magnitude earthquake. As per the news, the earthquake was felt mostly (other than Iran, of course) in Karachi because of all the big buildings we have here.
Me and my sister, Hajra, were just causally sitting watching tv like any other day. Suddenly, the couch started moving. We called out to our mom who was in her room and well all hell went loose. We ran downstairs, ringing everyone's doorbells so that we could evacuate the building. After we were all coming up stairs, back into our homes, we noticed that our neighbor never left his house. He came out and he said he was praying. That's when it hit me, instead of running around like maniacs, we should've been asking for forgiveness for our sins and praying to Allah to keep us safe. It's heart breaking to see that instead of us praying when it's mostly needed, we are looking for our phones and locking our house doors and god knows what else. It never even crossed our minds to at least call out to Allah!
Anyways, Alhumdulillah, we are all okay and there was no damage done to our building or any others around our building. I really hope everyone is safe! Pray, pray and pray! That's the only thing we'll need when we leave this world and nothing else. Not our homes, phones or anything! Please stay safe and don't forget to pray!
May ALLAH SWT forgive our sins and protect us all! Ameen!
