Al-Mudabiraat and the Japanese Earthquake

If you’re wondering about the Japanese earthquake and tsunami then ponder on the fifth ayah of Surah an-Nazi’aat (al-Qur’an 79:5).
[fal mudabbiraat amran]
It mentions ‘Al-Mudabiraat’, those angels who settle the affairs of deen and dunya, in the dunya. They take care of floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, among other things. Their name, al-mudabiraat, also implies that they are thorough planners and executers of those plans. The root word isTadbeer - a thorough, detailed planning/organising/complete execution of a command where one takes a step back (dubr) before making an action and walk forward after a detailed decision has been made.
Behold the Power of Allah SWT, the only One worthy of worship
