Question:
Assalamou Aleykoum wa Rahmatoulahi wa Barakatou ya Mawlana Shaykh Hisham and beloved Hajjah Naziha. First of all, thanks to you and the honorable eShaykh staff for your generosity. May Allah (SWT) reward you endlessly.
My question pertains to “disaster preparedness” and advices to get ready. I learned recently that it is a Sunnah to get ready for disaster and I wish to learn how.
May you grant us connection with you and always keep us under your feets.
May Allah (SWT) bless you and your family.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
The best protection is keeping Allah’s orders and Love. Keep Salat [prayers] and Wudu [abulution]. Say RabunAllah HasbunAllah 100 times daily counting on Allah’s protection.
Otherwise if you can you may try to live closer to nature, away from the big cities and keep some food and water for times of shortages. Keep your heart soft and merciful on all of Allah’s creation.
