It looks as if we're heading towards another
Flood extravaganza.
i meant that not in a good way ok.
anyway, yes, the raining is continuing, after a day and a half dreary sunshine. not that im complaining really, since i dont really have to worry about floods at this part of the world and this high up in the building. i live on the 12th floor, you see. but, have you seen the destruction lately?
Subhanallah.
Who would have thought that such a great calamity could happen, in such a short period of time? there are places that you could only see the second storey of buildings! hundreds, possible thousands of families are displaced out of their own homes and are staying in schools, public places, together, as they helplessly see their items being caught in the flood and/or being looted. yes, humans are advantage-seekers. in times of crisis such as now, there are groups of people who are raiding empty homes and looting whatever that seems valuable in their eyes. wtfish? yes, that is human for you.
this episode could be looked upon as a disaster and also a reminder. a reminder of His existence, for so many of us have taken it so forgranted. we forget, we ignore. but now, the reason for ignorance has ceased. its time to sit up and really look. what have we done, or not done, that could have caused such a wrath? are we taking life for granted, as a whole? is it time for us to change? its for you to answer.
for we are blessed to not be presented with such a calamity, we should remember the unfortunate, or perhaps fortunate enough, to receive a reminder from Him, before its too late for them to turn back. we should take this opportunity too.

Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods and lives and the fruits(of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere, who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return." They are those on whom (descend) blessings from Allah, and mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance. [Surah al-Baqarah: 155-157]
