A 5-year-old boy was rescued from under the rubble in Turkey after spending more than 100 hours under it. A Turkish channel reporter asked him: Didn't you feel hungry all these hours?
He replied, "Every once in a while a person dressed in a white robe would come to me, feed me, give me water, and then leave."
See the most important angels?

A tweet written by someone on Twitter sparked a storm of comments:
Do you believe these nonsense?
Why does it not occur to you that someone, for example, taught the child what to say?
Is it possible that in this era you still believe in these superstitions?
Forget about the religious interpretation of the incident, it is a natural phenomenon that the earth witnesses over its lifetime, and it cannot be explained as a divine punishment for our corruption. Logic says: What is the fault of the good people?
But what is the fault of the children?
However, none of the supporters of this saying explain to us how this child lived and how he got out safely, nor that infant who was no more than 10 days old, how the rescuers found him alive when he spent 5 days - that is, half of his life - under the rubble alone, and he and those of his age are in need To a meal from his mother's breast every two hours, how can the laws of nature explain that?!

Gentlemen who object to our religious view of the event:
We believe in the unseen, and we believe in the angels that are a condition of faith. It is true that we cannot interpret this incident or others in this way, so we say that the angels saved these two children, for example, but we do not rule it out, and we do not deny the possibility of that happening.
We believe that the angels are God's creation, and God can command whom He wills of His creation to do whatever He wants.
Why these two children in particular? And why not?
Why does God allow all this pain to people? And why not?
When you believe that you are created from dust and God Almighty breathed the soul into you, you cannot hold your Lord accountable: Why did you do this?!
And why did you do that?!
Exalted be God that we object to his predestination and his arrangement.
How many events happened in our lives and we did not understand its mystery until after many years!
Your child that you gave birth to makes you angry if he objects to your decision, and he is just your child, you did not create him.
Personally - and I do not say that this is obligatory for others - I do not believe, for example, in all the interpretations of imposing prayer, hijab, zakat, etc., but rather I ask myself one question: Did my Lord really command that?
If confirmed, I did.
As for you to talk to me about the advantages of sports bowing and prostration, and that fasting benefits the health of the body, all these explanations mean nothing to me, only: Did God command us to do it?
Yes, then listen and obey.
If God told us that He, the Mighty and Majestic, created the angels, then He did, and He alone is the disposer of this kingdom, whether we understand wisdom or not.
Rather, wisdom here is to hear and obey.

You do not believe in that and consider it superstitions brought about by the ancient inhabitants of the desert. It is your right, and each of us bears the consequences of what he believes in, but you do not have the right to prevent me from interpreting what is happening according to the signs of my Lord.
You are free in what you think and do not impose it on me, and I am free in what I think and do not impose it on you.
I cannot conduct my daily affairs and interpret them according to what I believe in, and if an exceptional disaster occurs, I do not preach it or understand it according to the same faith.
Science itself, which has come a long way, is unable in many cases to explain.
It is true - as I said - I do not have a definite interpretation of a matter, so I claim that this is a punishment from God for the corrupt, especially since the earthquake in Turkey, for example, occurred in regions that are the most religious, and I do not have that.
Yes, the Qur’an told us about the affliction that befell the corrupt, but it is the Qur’an, the word of God who created the creation, and who sent down the affliction, so we have nothing but recognition of what the Almighty said, but we ourselves do not have to drop every verse on every specific event.

The earthquake takes place in Turkey and Syria. Houses collapse, and our souls collapse with it. A mixture of sadness and fear. Grief for the victims, for our families and loved ones with whom we have ties of kinship or humanity, and fear of what might happen in the world that seemed to be collapsing.
The scenes are terrifying, the buildings that fell were not old and cracked, but some of them were newly built.
We ask ourselves: what if we were in their shoes?
What are the signs of the times?
And what are those strange phenomena that some claimed to have seen accompanying the earthquake?
Is it the resurrection?
One of them said: The earthquake did not begin until my atheist neighbor began to pray to God for salvation.
His instinct moved automatically, and so are we. We may be immersed in our sins, but this event shocks us like the shocks that a doctor inflicts on the heart of his patient, so how do you not want me to respond to this shock?
The matter is very simple
We think about the event, and contemplate the signs of God to escape from being among the others who {have hearts with which they do not understand, and they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear.
It may be possible in our busy daily lives that we lose sight of contemplation, but that an event like this passes without moving us, does not shock us, does not deter us, and does not remind us of the Hereafter!
To leave us and not be afraid of our fate, and not search, did God make us angry?
Did the oppressors exaggerate their injustice?
Are the silent exaggerated in their silence?
This is the real disaster.
Then, why do we limit our sins to doing this or not doing this?!
Our silence on the abuses of the oppressed in prisons, does it not arouse the wrath of the Most Merciful against us?!
Burning people and robbing them of their property, don't they prepare for anger from the Most Gracious?!
To shake hands and befriend those who have robbed us of our sanctities, will they not prepare themselves for the wrath of the Most Merciful?!

The earth shook, and scholars whose virtue we do not deny say: It may shake again, and the builders must take into account this matter in order to establish their buildings on bases that allow the absorption of earthquake strikes.
What the scholars do not say and it is not within their competence: that we have to prepare for ourselves lifelines so that if the incident occurs again we will be saved.
Lifelines that guarantee the safety of our souls and their good fate, whether our bodies remain or perish. We will interpret the matter with religion without extremism, without omissions, and without judging others.
It's big
The time we fear will not only shake the plane, the building or the bridge, but the whole earth.
It's scary, right?
Hence our main concern now is to find Noah before we drown.
Noah, peace be upon him, is absent.
But his ship is here.
Whoever wants to join her...
And for those who don't care about cynics.
