The right approach to respond and deal with calamities can be found by Holy Quran reading. In Quran, Allah Almighty says: “Certainly, We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss of wealth, lives and fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to (As-Sabireen) those who patiently persevere.” (Surat-al Baqarah 155) The ayah clearly shows that, all these calamities that cause loss of wealth, life, and cause hunger and fear is all a test from Allah Almighty, and the ones that stay firm and patient in the test are the ones who are successful both in this world and the world hereafter. Moreover, if a person does not think him or herself worthy of the test, then the ahadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provides the best solution to avoid such calamites. Prophet (PBUH) said: “Give Charity without delay, for it stands in the way of Calamity.” (Al-Tirmidhi- 589) Therefore, a Muslim needs not to wait for a calamity to open up the purse, rather a Muslim must be charitable if he or she wishes to avoid the calamity and remain under the blessing of Allah Almighty. “O Allah, I ask You for it’s goodness, the good within it, and the good it was sent with, and I take refuge with You from it’s evil within it, and from the evil it was sent with." “O Allah, don’t end our lives with Your wrath, and do not make us perish with Your punishment and forgive us before that.” Ameen
