beloved Japan, our prayers for you

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1 إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا
When the earth is shaken with her (violent) shaking,
2 وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
And the earth brings forth her burdens,
3 وَقَالَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا لَهَا
And man says: What has befallen her?
4 يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا
On that day she shall tell her news,
5 بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَى لَهَا
Because your Lord had inspired her.
6 يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ
On that day men shall come forth in sundry bodies that they may be shown their works.
7 فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ
So. he who has done an atom's weight of good shall see it
8 وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ
And he who has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.
surah Al-Zalzalah (99:1-99:8)


alhamdulillah. for those who are safe in Japan. Alhamdulillah my friends in Japan are safe.

when i heard about the earthquake and tsunami, i was quite calm, knowing that the Japanese/ people in Japan are usually well prepared for these disasters. but when i knew that the earthquake was a 9.0m earthquake, i went panic and worried. For someone who loves about earthquake and volcanoes like me, 9.0m earthquake is scary. for a country that is so used to earthquake, 9.0 is just too much.

once the news spread through the world, i got e-mails and messages from my friends all over the world asking me if i were okay. Thank you guys. that time they didn't know that i was already back in KL. but even if i were still in Japan, i would still be in Nagoya. and thank God that Nagoya was merely effected. Nagoya is in Aichi prefecture. a prefecture that is also facing the Pacific Ocean. but it was one of the prefecture that had a non-major tsunami. (although the neighbouring prefectures had major tsunamis)

Thank God for internet. i am currently watching Japanese news -internet live streaming. CNN... they talk too much about the same thing over and over again but no latest news...

tsunami alert is still on. right now, the tsunami's height is estimated to be about 0.5m. Kantou (Aichi and it's northern neighbours) area is predicted to be safe from tsunami.

i hope it is due to telephone line problem that he haven't reply my mails. is really hoping that he will be fine. insyaAllah.

may our prayers be with people in Japan

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Japan. Everyone should look beyond their differences like you do, Ili, and see that out there, the victims are mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, children, beloved pets -- all in need of help and love and care right now. If there is anything we could do to alleviate their suffering, let's do it.

@Eelynn, thanks. because we are really far from Sendai, all we can do is to help them with our prayers and donation kan. lucky for some of our Malaysian frens there who got the chance to volunteer in Sendai :)
