Practice of Prayer When Earthquake Strikes and Wisdom Behind Calamities in Islam

"Always believe that in Bali, every disaster will bring extraordinary wisdom."

Dream - There is not a single human being on this earth who hopes to experience an earthquake disaster. However, when that test comes, humans can only surrender and seek His protection. This request can be done by saying a prayer when there is an earthquake, especially when the area is affected by the movement of tectonic plates.

Prayers When Earthquakes Strike and the Wisdom Behind Calamities in Islam

Indonesia is a country prone to earthquakes due to its many active volcanoes and active tectonic plates. Located between the Australian, Eurasian, and Pacific plates, this archipelago is vulnerable to both volcanic and tectonic earthquakes.

In Islam, an earthquake is referred to as kiamat sugra or kiamat kecil. This earthquake test causes the ground to shake, triggering the occurrence of a tsunami. Humans, of course, cannot prevent or predict when an earthquake will occur. The technology created by humans today can only detect potential earthquakes based on historical data. However, the timing of an earthquake cannot be determined by anyone. This human-made technology only helps to reduce the potential losses or casualties that may occur when the strong tremors come.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The activity of the earth's stomach that shakes the world is evidence of the power of Allah SWT over all of His creations. As Muslims, it is only appropriate for us to seek help and safety only from Allah by reciting prayers when there is an earthquake."

"Prayer When There is an Earthquake"

"Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha wa khaira ma feeha, wa khaira ma arsalta bihi, wa a'udzubika min syarriha, wa syarri ma feeha wa syarri ma arsalta bihi. "O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of what has happened, and the goodness of what is in it, and the goodness of what You have sent with it. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of what has happened, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what You have sent with it."

Prayer when there is an earthquake can be read at any time when an earthquake or other disaster threatens the safety of lives.

Reading Prayer When There is Another Earthquake

Yā arḍu rabbi wa rabbukallāh, a'ūḏubillāhi min šarrik wamin šarri mā fika, wamin šarri mā huliqa fika wamin šarri mā yadibbu 'alaika Meaning: "O earth, my Lord and your Lord is Allah. I seek refuge in Allah from your evil, from the evil that is within you, from the evil that is created within you, and from the evil that crawls upon you." (Narrated by Abu Daud, considered Hasan by Ibn Hajar)

"How to Respond to Calamities in Islam"

Many prayers and remembrance. Stay patient in facing adversity. Strive to save yourself, your family, and your wealth. Understand the wisdom behind the experienced calamity. Have an open heart towards Allah's decree.

"Disaster is the way Allah erases the sins of His servants."

As a Muslim who understands religion well, it is best to be able to take lessons from every adversity faced. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that every adversity experienced by humans is Allah's way of erasing their sins. "No Muslim is afflicted with a calamity, be it a prick of a thorn or something worse, except that Allah will expiate some of his sins because of it." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)

"The provisions of Allah SWT"

Everything that will happen to us is certainly recorded in Lauhul Mahfuzh. This is explained in Surah Al-Hadid verse 22 as follows: "مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَا ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ" which means: "No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah, is easy." (QS. Al-Hadid: 22)
