Referring to the previous earthquake in Palu, may Allah give His rahman and rahim to our brothers and sisters, which is 7.4 magnitude, there is some empirical formula to know how much energy is released.
log E=5.24+1.44M
I inputted 7.4 as M, and got 7.87X10^15 Joule. Can you imagine that enormous energy?
That earthquake cause tsunami, and kill more than 831 people until now and still rising. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi roojiun. One liter of water weigh one kilogram. The earthquake releasing the energy and causing the sea water to flow to the land. I really have no idea how much sea water was flowing into. And how that energy flow is generated in one blow. But I know for sure, who did that.
Ulama said that the death is coming suddenly. I think, it doesn't matter how we die. But it always matter what we have prepared for this sudden death. Tricky thing, we will never know the result of our preparation. We may have done all the good things in our life, and we think that we have well-prepared. Or we may have done all the bad things in our life, and we think we have no preparation. None of us know precisely the result. We will know after the chance is closed, and there is no turning way.
Let us have positive thinking. Allah did that, for the victim (Allahumaghfirlahu warhamhu wa'afihi wa'fuanhu) is indeed their ajjal, no matter they were good people, or bad people. I don't think that it is azab. For people who know that natural phenomena, is a reminder, that death will come to you anywhere anytime without prior notice. For me, which is still able to write this, is still having time to to taubat, making more preparation, in case of my previous preparation is missing. Who knows? And really, no one will ever have the power like that but Allah. So I am happy that I am worshiping the mightiest one, the rightest one. But this faith, unfortunately, coming up and down without any exact cause. One time you remember, other time you forget, and Allah gives an earthquake, and you remember again. There is no warranty tomorrow you still remember. Or still alive.
Once we have faith in Islam, do all the syariat, there will be peace in our life. And we are taught to be sure that we will harvesting all of our good deeds when we were in dunya. So, peace in dunya, happily ever after in akhirat, insya Allah.
And by the way, is there someone who has figured out what makes the tectonic plate moves? Are we able somehow, sometimes, somewhere, to extract that energy?
Saya menyukai filosofi dari pak Wales, bahwa TIDAK MUNGKIN seseorang mengetahui segala sesuatu, tapi setiap orang PASTI mengetahui paling tidak satu hal. Di blog ini, walaupun tidak terfokus, saya mencoba membagi nya, supaya tidak ikut terbawa saya mati nantinya.
