Floods: The ‘Days of Noah’ over Kerala
Less than a year ago- at the beginning of the present Islamic year AH 1439-, Imam Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, Hadhrat Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius made a Divinely-inspired Sermon, cautioning the peoples everywhere about the impending calamities that are about to strike around the world, including the Indian Ocean region. In that Friday sermon of 29 September 2017 (08 Muharram 1439 AH), Hadhrat Saheb (atba) specifically observed the dangers of calamities such as devastating floods that shall shatter human lives:
“Today is the 8th of Muharram of the year 1439 AH… I ask you to listen to all that I am telling you. From this Muharram 1439 AH to the next Muharram 1440 AH - believe me brothers and sisters - there are a lot of happenings/ events/ catastrophes which shall occur: earthquakes, floods, lots of people shall lose their lives, atrocious crimes, wars/ fights (nations against nations), blood of innocents shall be shed...
I ask you to take this into consideration and start counting - from the 1st Muharram of this New Year 1439 AH till its end. Write down all that which shall happen throughout the world and even small islands and even all that which is found in the Indian Ocean (and its vicinity) shall not be spared from divine punishment, in the form of earthquakes, floods, great wars which shall be very difficult to stop.
Believe in what I am saying. O Muslims and Humanity at large. Take precautions and stock your food- buy, keep, preserve….”
Speaking against the backdrop of the deluge in Mauritius earlier this year, Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba) further repeated the Divine reminder:
“O all of you, you are not safe. No country in the world will be spared, even you who live on the islands. No divinity of your imagination can help you. I see with the eye of my Lord (Allah) many terrifying things that will seize this world....O humanity, the decrees of God will be inevitably executed, and you will see the coming days as the days of Noah...” (Friday Sermon of 26 January 2018---08 Jamad'ul Awwal 1439 AH).
The Kerala Floods
Nature's fury in the form of torrential rains has engulfed mostparts of Kerala this week. The land and its people are in profound pain, perplexed by the sudden hardships enveloping them. The magnitude of thedisruption of everyday life in the otherwise scenic Indian State is mind-numbing. As one scribbles down this note, the “God’s own country” (asKerala is known), isbattling one of the worst floods in all of its modern history. With the India Meteorological Department predicting heavy rains for the next two days as well, the ground situation is being viewed as extremely grave. With heavy rainfalls in the catchment areas of major reservoirs across the State and the opening of all shutters of all major dams including Mullaperiyar, Cheruthoni, part of Idukki reservoir, and Idamalayar, lives of people in downstream areas have been severely affected, for areas and villages where floods had never occurred are witnessing inundation.
Heavy water-logging has disrupted the road, rail traffic across the State, and even flight operations at the Kochi airport will remain suspended for the next 10 days. With telecommunication lines down, and electricity transmission cut off, thousands of flood victims remain marooned in their own residences/places without access to essential help. The death toll in the ongoing rain-and flood-related incidents (including landslips)has already crossed 150, with more than 1,50,000 people shifted to over 1200 relief camps across the State. Rescue operators fear that due to the heavy inflow of water, the death toll would go up.
Humanitarian Relief
Against the backdrop of this unprecedented crisis, the Government of Kerala is coordinating rescue and relief operations on a colossal scale. With the national disaster relief agency and the Armed Forces actively participating along with the civil soceity organizations and other individual humanitarians in the flood-related assistance works, the crisis is also proving to be an occasion to unravel the essential humanity, decency and solidarity of our people.
The Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, Kerala stand in solidarity with all people affected by this great calamity. In view of the ongoing flood situation, Mukarram Amir R. Jamaluddin Saheb of Mathra recently conveyed the South Kerala Jamaat's readiness to provide shelter, food and medicines required for anyone coping with issues of dislocation during this point of time. The local administrative officials of the ‘Panchayat’, where the Noor’ul Islam Masjid is located, has lauded and appreciated the humanitarian initiative of the Mukarram Amir Saheb and has agreed to revert to us in case of any relief requirement in the area. In a recent message, the Amir Saheb has also invited everyone who has a problem now to avail the facilities available at the Noor'ul Islam Masjid, Mathra.
Prayers for Kerala
Many brothers from Kerala had recently written to Hadhrat Khalifatullah (atba), informing him about the grim flood scenario in Kerala, seeking his fervent prayers for respite to the land and its people. Hadhrat Saheb (atba) wrote to one of them in this context: “May Allah have mercy on the people of Kerala and the land as a whole and save its people from atrocious calamities. It is very sad that lots of people have lost their lives, but like I have already said previously in my sermons, that which Allah shall do, is to warn the people so that they may return to Allah, Insha-Allah. These calamities are touching lots of countries such as Indonesia etc. May Allah have mercy on these peopleand may they reform their lives to comply with Allah’s commandments and return back to Tawheed. Insha-Allah”.
