This is true, since the earthquake of 2005 quite a few natural disasters have happened during Eids. This happened, almost regularly since the last 5-6 years. If this is not a sign then what is it?
@Khurram Awan: I dont know why we always proclaim God as the one who took revenge rather than the powerful being of spreading love instead of fear and curse.!!!!! A mother will not allow her child to run to a street which is full of fast moving traffic,no matter how desperatly cries that child.She would even go to the extant of physical punishment if child doesn't stop.Hope you got my piont.
@Khurram Awan: Sarcasm is lost on you
@Trojan: Why we always equate some natural phenomena with the curse of God??. Do you know tremors occur on the moon and on many stars with no life at all as well. Quakes on the moon are known as moonquakes and their duration sometimes pass more than one hour due to lack of water to damp the vibrations. So tell me why Moon is getting punishment when there is no life to be cursed by God there.??. I dont know why we always proclaim God as the one who took revenge rather than the powerful being of spreading love instead of fear and curse.!!!!!
Modern day Sodom and Gomorrah getting divine punishment. Talibans are the new Quom e Luut.
