Press Release Jamaah Ansharu Syariah About Massive Earthquake Disaster in Turkey and Syria
Sûrat Az- Zalzalah (The Earthquake)
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful (1) When the earth is shaken with its (final) earthquake. (2) And when the earth throws out its burdens. (3) And man will say: “What is the matter with it?” (4) That Day it will declare its information (5) Because your Lord will inspire it. (6) That Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown their deeds. (7) So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom shall see it. (8) And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom shall see it.
The M7.8 and M7.5 quakes centered in the southeastern region of Turkey on Monday (06/02/2023) and Tuesday (07/02/2023) were felt in neighboring countries such as Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.
The earthquake devastated parts of Turkey and Syria and killed thousands. To date, the death toll is 2,316 in Turkey and 1,293 in Syria. This number will continue to rise as the search for the victims continues.
For this disaster, Jamaah Ansharu Syariah conveys:
- Jamaah Ansharu Syariah expresses its deep condolences for this disaster and appeals to Muslims affected by the disaster to be patient and leave all their affairs to Allah SWT and immediately reply istighfar and repent and return to Allah. Do not blame fate, but we should all realize that all of this is the destiny of Allah SWT which comprises wisdom and noble goals that Allah SWT wants.
- Jamaah Ansharu Syariah urges Muslims to help each other and help all victims with whatever can be given, involving either wealth, energy, or prayer. And in this case, Jamaah Ansharu Syariah, God willing, will do everything possible to take part and move to collect aid and distribute it to the victims there.
- Jamaah Ansharu Syariah calls on all Muslims to hold a mass repentance. Because one of the causes of calamities is because of the amount of sin. If the Muslims no longer keep themselves from the provisions of the Shari’ah and the laws of Allah, then Allah may wish to remind us with the calamities occurring now. For this reason, Muslims must be able to take lessons from the Turkey earthquake, so that we do not violate the provisions and laws of Allah.
- Jamaah Ansharu Syariah prays to Allah SWT to forgive the sins of all Muslims, protect Muslims from all calamities and guide Muslims to always be on the teachings of Dinul Islam. And may Allah SWT be pleased with the Muslims in this world and in the Hereafter.
- Jamaah Ansharu Syariah prays for the dead victims of this disaster that their spirits would be accepted by Allah SWT in a state of forgiveness, blessed by Allah SWT, and may Allah SWT elevate their levels in the hereafter.
