Tsunami, A Warning for the Mankind

by Syed Faiyazuddin Ahmad
January 1, 2005

What a disastrous ending of the year 2004! A colossal calamity that hit almost 11 nations across some 4000 miles. Incredible! No terrorist plot, no carpet bombing, no nuclear explosion. The mighty power of God has shown us that HE is the POWER - no State or any other being howsoever big and rich in resources they may amass is. Herein there is a very clear lesson for all Faith people; we have not done our home work properly. We only pay lip service to our faiths. See in the fury of Tsunami all faith people have been affected; Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and many more. The Almighty WHO is the Almighty Lord of all has told all of us that we only make louder claims about our faiths but we are simply hypocrites; we do not do what we say and preach.

This catastrophe is; in my view, a clear warning to us all that we must do something really good for the humankind and all the creation. We are bent upon destroying the environment, the equilibrium of the world population of all living things, by becoming more and more materialistic and self-centered and overwhelmed with the desire to dominate this earth by hook or by crook.
It is a timely warning and if we really want to make our world a safer place for all let our "terrorists" and those engaged in the "war against terrorism" must reflect and see that all their actions have only added to the overall miseries of God's creations and this very clear warning must, therefore, be taken seriously.

I pray that we start the year 2005 with new approach and work for the betterment, well being and welfare of all God's creations irrespective of their Faiths, their race, colour or gender otherwise the wrath of God may come more severely to annihilate all of us and then there will be no time left for any recompense.

With best prayers and wishes for a peaceful and wonderful year for all.
