2005 Kashmir earthquake

What a terrible disaster this has turned out to be. An earthquake in Pakistan, and that too of this scale, was totally unexpected? May Allah give courage to the victims and their families. I hope the damage is controlled and may God expiate the sins of those who passed away. InshaAllah.

notice UK is pretty safe. UK still get Earthquakes..but doesnt have a (major plate boundary) fault line one going under it. Its around 60-80 miles deep. Most likely in the midlands,anyway. So it will be very minor.

Inalillahi-wa-ina-ilahi-raajioon. May Allah grant him a place in jannah and give strength to the family to cope with the tragedy. Ameen.
 
the death toll has increased to 20,000.....there r more who havent been discovered yet.......we all our praying for the victims and their families and as well as the surviviors.........man just by seeing the news on bbc and hearing alll the sad news and the stories just makes want to cry..........:6: :6: :6:
 
realy sad for whole nation
heard that CMH hospital in muzzafabad also collapsed

one of my freind lost 6/7 member of his family (khandan) in Kashmir. his oyunger sis & dad were rescued.
 
Toony honestly no place is safe now, every where a natural disaster can strike the world is slowly heading towards its end and you can expect more natural disasters over and over, one just hopes that loss of life isnt as serious as it is here in this situation.
 
deth toll exceeeds 22,000....now ...........:( :( :6: :6: :6: ...how many more will die...novody knows just hope that this phase will pass as soon as possible for the victim's families and the survivors as well as the injured....
 
On CNN , they tell us that a greater concern is a shortage of Coffins !
 
rather heartbreaking all this.
but personally, what concerns me is not the number of dead ones but the homeless,jobless,foodless,injured,maimed survivors. thats my worry, not the dead ones.

Last major one was 2 PM yesterday when me and Queen of Zeel posted alot of small ones were there throughout the day which were either too week to notice or barely noticable so finally I got some good night sleep.
 
The USGS (US Geological survey - see this link http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqinthenews/2005/usdyae/ )said there had been at least 26 aftershocks, including a 6.2-magnitude temblor

Its still very tense out there.

With a hurricane you know ( with aid of satellites etc ) that its passed the area etc but with an Earthquake its a different story - you never know if this is the last one.

This is where man must bow to the Almighty and ask for HIS mercy - as they say in Urdu "ab waqte dua hai Bhaiyo", Allah Khair karay , Ameen!

very true - with winter on its way - how will the Pak Govt cope with the survivors needs ? Basically a lot of them have left their homes and are walking/travelling away - when can they return - where will they stay - will the ordinary Pakistani open his doors to help these people - can we depend on the govt totally ? A lot of questions here

that is the main worry really. those who are dead, are safely - dead.
While the loss and all that is there,on a larger note, the question of the living is more a concern, how will they be able to get back on their feet?

Secondly, isnt there a hadis or something that those who die in ramzan go to heaven, or something?

thirdly, it might well worth be asking if there was a reason why these people got struck with such force by Him.

Kiya Pata Comma - Allah knows ! The same reason that we have had the Tsunami, New Orleans, Gautemala, plane crashes etc - no one knows.
 
A woman living in the UK, lost 16 members of her extended family. The grief is unimaginable.
 
Ikhwaan:

This is indeed a very tragic time for all our Pakistaani brothers and sisters. May Allah help them all.

My best friend, Abu Omar, is leaving for Islaamabad today to assist with the relief efforts. Inshallah, I plan to go in a couple of days. We would have liked to reach there earlier but us Emiraatis require visas to Pakistaan and after recent "terror" attack worldwide, visas for the Emiraatis and Saudis to enter Pakistan are harder to come by.

I apologise to all my brothers and sisters for not being able to contribute to the effort much earlier but you will realise that these matters (visas etc) are not in our hands.

Please, ikhwaan, wherever you are, if its possible to come down to Pakistaan and help, do so. I realise that most of you are Pakistanis and if that is not reason enough then don't forget that these people are fellow humans and fellow Muslims and Allah might ask us about this on the Day of Judgement. At the least, make financial contributions. May Allah accept our all our deeds. Aameen.

One last thing. I make this announcement here knowing well the hadith that if good deeds are done secretly, the reward Inshallah is more. However, there are also hadiths which state that if one wishes to encourage others he or she MAY publicise their actions if it serves as an encouragement to others.

May Allah make our deeds sincerely for His sake alone. Aameen

Wassaalam

PS Any Pakpassion members in Islaamabad, if there is any advice, suggestions etc you can offer Abu Omar and I, please disclose it here. Jazaak Allah Khairun.
 
New estimate 30-40,000.


Pakistani military says 'whole generation' lost in quake ISLAMABAD, Oct 10 (AFP) - A whole generation had been wiped out in the most devastated areas because of the weekend's huge quake, the worst affected being the schoolchildren, chief military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan said . "Rescuers are pulling out dead children in Muzaffarabad but there is no one to claim the bodies which shows their parents are dead," he said. "Rawalakot has been destroyed. Muzaffarabad is 70 percent destroyed. There is not a single house in Muzaffarabad which has not suffered damage. There is not a single famliy there that has not suffered," he added. The UNICEF and a senior government official speaking on condition of anonymity said Monday that between 30,000 and 40,000 people had died. Witnesses and correspondents say schools collapsed in almost every town and village across the devastated northwestern Pakistan and Azad Kashmir. Many hundreds school-going boys and girls were trapped in the wreckage because the quake struck at the beginning of the school day. (Posted @ 12:10 PST)

 
I'm sadned and shocked at the loss of life, may Allah give our brethren/sisters courage to bear this loss. What we need to do now is to help them by donating genrosily.

Our Duas go with you AceBase -

My only concern with people going to Pakistan is as to how they can help . As you know, we have a largish army that is handling the efforts and civilians like yourself, may not be able to contribute as much they would like to. Would it not be a better idea to send in your financial support to anyone of the larger organizations ? Unless you have some skills such as you are in the medical profession.

Just my 2 cents here.
 
We should hold the builders or contracter responsible for building schools with inadequate material to gain money.

Jazaak Allah khairun Ahkhi.

Yes, you're right. Of course civilians will only be a hinderance in the efforts unless they have specific skills. My post was of course addressing those with relevant skills. I should have made it clear above, which I didn't but Inshallah this post serves as clarification.

I'm not part of the medical profession but have experience in admisnistrative/organisational areas of relief efforts. One thing I haven't mentioned is that I shall obviously be working alongside the UAE Red Crescent.

Once again, may Allah reward you for your support.
 
They need administrators who can coordinate small teams, make sure you have civil engineers and medical personell at your disposal as those are in shortage in Pakistan.
 
The point MIG is making:

"We have enough manpower but we need financial support ... to cope with the tragedy," Musharraf said in Rawalpindi, according to the state-run news agency Associated Press of Pakistan.

However, if you have special skills please do come forward.
 
Thanks for the updates Miggy....so sad. But the more we know, the more we will be moved to show our compassion...One of the people interviewed on television last night said that, as soon as the reporters and camera's go away, people will forget.

Well, I hope he's wrong this time...and hereafter.
every where a natural disaster can strike the world is slowly heading towards its end and you can expect more natural disasters over and over

I just heard bad news this morning that a family friend died. It's so horrible whats happened and the death toll is rising more. 20,000 and where does it stop :(

Please all give up a luxury and earn reward and swaf from Allah in donating money, clothes etc for the victims. At home we altogetehr donated £600 and will do more Inshallah. Please I request you all to donate and generously but what u can afford as every penny will help the victims, the children and all affected.
 
my uncle was collecting money from all my cosions and uncles
that live around us... in total he had collected just over £1000 so far...

but yeah please people donate wateva you can...
 
Please can you spend a few moments to pray for some family friends.

A close friend of my wife in Cardiff is trying to come to terms with losing her ENTIRE family in Kashmir. Her father, mother, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, a dozens nieces and nephews; aunts and uncles and grandparents-not to mention other extended family members.

They live in the remotest parts of Kashmir where the nearest phone line is a 30 minute drive away, and electricity was only introduced 2 years ago.

Out of nearly 40 family members, only she remains.

Its tragic. We dont know how to console her.

Just think about her and her loss if you can during your busy schedules.

Jazakallah-khair

Only Allah SWT decides who lives and who dies.

Even if the buildings had been the best constructed in the world, if Allah SWT decides that it is your time to go nothing can stop it from happening...
 
The death toll has now topped 30,000. And 2.5 million people are now homeless. That is 1.7% of Pak's total population affected.
 
Prayers with all those suffering.

BBC has a few correspondents covering the scenes and updating every now and then. Help is yet to reach many areas.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4325640.stm



"It's impressive the way people have rallied around here. What happened here is many of the survivors around Balakot left because they weren't getting shelter, they weren't getting the help they needed and they literally walked out because that was the only way of getting to and from Balakot.

And then they came back today carrying picks and shovels. There were hundreds of people coming in to help and as the day has gone on the numbers have grown. As I'm looking across the devastated town of Balakot, I'm seeing literally hundreds of thousands of people all over the rubble like ants working away trying to dig, hoping there may be people underneath."
 
rains after quake and landslide in that area must b effecting that area heavily and it ll not b easy to reach there with our "limited" resources. also hospital in Muzzarferabad CMH was also totally damaged.
 
I feel, if Pakistanis can help each other out in this critical period, and showcase some amazing brotherhood and concern for humanity, then Im hoping that Allah Tala will shower his barkat on the nation. I believe from personal experience that whenever we do something good, especially spend in the way of Allah or help our fellow human, then sometime in the future Allah Tala showers his mercy and barkat on us. Allah Tala says that what ever we spend in His way in this world, Allah will return that to us in this very life, 100 fold. And humanity or insaaniyat has a greater status in Islam then spending in the way of Allah.

So I hope, with my limited Islamic knowledge, that the outcome of this will in the long term be beneficial to us. Although no doubt the huge death toll is very heartbreaking.
 
Allah have mercy on all those who are suffering.

2005 never seen so much death and devestation in my life. Even tho nobody from my family was a victim it feels like there been a major death in our family we are all
one.

Cant do nothing for the departed but inshallah will do everything possible for the
ones left behind.

Allah give strength for the people in pakistan and south america to overcome this tragedy.

Ameen

Only God can give her solace; almost impossible to console her in my opinion
 
HORRIBLE NEWS!!!!!!!

My BEST friends ENTIRE khaandaan is gone! He is from Kashmir and he ahs lost all his relatives! I was so shocked to hear that. He talked to them just last week! For the first time in my life am I experiencing such sorrow. Even though they werent mine, they were close to someone I know.

My hands have been numb since I heard that news and my heart beat is up. Cant think properly.

thank you US!
 
May Allah grant her family paradise, and grant her peace in this life and the next.

I hope we all learn from this, that this life is temporary and that we have an eternal abode. This is a reminder on a massive scale.

Let's hope we bring the best out of this situation, by helping those who have suffered and giving continuous help to those who have been made orphans, widows.
This is a chance for us to do something that should have been done a long time ago - Build Pakistan.

I am so pleased with the way US have donated. I have mixed feelings about them right now. But I can safely say any other Leader of Pakistan would not have brought so much aid.
 
Maybe now the rebuilding will help make pakistan a better country, but too bad its at the expense of all those ppl.
 
Britain is going to provide shelter, medicine, clothing and food to 40,000 of the homeless for 3 months according to Sky news.
 
I hope rescue teams do heir job perfectly as ppl there getting angry at moment as rescue teams arriving too slow and too late and too little. It's bcoz of block roads or wat ? I heard there are landslides in that area as well blocking the main roads.
 
India announces one billion aid (The News)
(Updated at 1430 PST)
NEW DELHI: India has announced Rs. billion aid for quake victims in Pakistan, an Indian TV channel reported.

India has announced 100 Crore rupees aid for relief of the earthquake victims in Pakistan as other world nations have announced donations for disaster stricken people, the channel said
 
I wish the Pakistani government creates a special department for Disastery Recovery to tackle this kind of event. It would have been impossible for any other country to cope with such an event even with emergency procedures in place. It is time that the road infrastructure was rebuilt properly in areas where landslides are imminent like Azad Kashmir

 
May Allah bless the survivors with food and a shelter! Alhamdolilah there wasn't more damage!
 
I hope India can come to an agreement with Pakistan about Kashmir, so we can start fixing it together. I personally from now don't care who has it, Pakistan or India, as long as it is safe for the people of Kashmir.

This is the 4th time I have read this bit from bible every site I am a member of have this up in connection with the earth quake in Pakistan. 2005 has been a very sad year indeed.

No roads, these areas are inaccessable the only way to these areas is through air and as Mushraf has been saying over and over that we lack in helicopters.

hope they get medicine,tents,food and all necessary things ASAP.

India still considers all of Kashmir part of India. Go look at their maps. They have not comprised one bit. Even if Pakistan LOC ( More chance of hell freezing over ) accept LOC as border it will not be acceptable to Kashmiris.

Kashmiris either want merger with Pakistan or Indepedence and they shall get that Inshallah.
