Earth Quake in China – II

This is going to be slightly off topic because of the earthquake in China but may be this is not really off topic since in Islam we are supposed to put the people first regardless of their background. More than 10 days have passed since the earthquake and the deathtoll is close to fifty thousand and the search for survivors has ended. Aside from the tragedy of loss of human lives there are also other tragedies like many parents losing their only child. Many children who lost their lives were at school when the quake hit. Thus let us all Muslim brothers and sisters pray that may Allah make their grief bearable for people who lost their loved ones. Ameen. There are also thousands of children who have been orphaned because of the earthquake. Lets hope and pray that all of these children are adopted and find a good place to live. Numerous international agencies have also shown interest in adopting the children but the government is still looking into the matter. If anyone has more information then please let me know. I will post the information here insha’Allah. There are also many stories of bravery and heroism that are coming from China. One of the most inspiring is that of Jiang Xiaojuan who is a policewoman and the mother of a 6-month-old boy, she went to the affected areas and breastfed at least nine babies whose mothers were effected by the earthquake.
