People of India and Pakistan
Earthquake Prayer Circle


For all those affected by the massive quake in the subcontinent, a short moment to send warm wishes

As many of you know, near the town of Bhuj in the state of Gujarat in western India, a huge earthquake jolted the Indian sub-continent last week.

The quake was felt in Bangladesh, Nepal and in Madras, South India. It's the equivalent of feeling a New York earthquake as far west as Chicago.

It is estimated that maybe in excess of 15,000 lost their lives and hundreds of thousands are homeless.

This prayer circle was created to send our warmest wishes and prayers to those impacted by this natural disaster. Our thoughts are with you.

I offer my prayers for those affected in India, that aid will be more forthcoming, that more will be found alive, that Our heavenly Father has the broken hearted bereaved in His arms, and that all who were lost in the earthquake be found, for the sake of the families, and bring closure.

In the Name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

All praise be to Allah who hath constrained the night and the day, and hath set the sun and the moon. Unto Allah belongeth the Unseen, the heavens and the earth. He sets the Mansion of the Stars and opens the Gate of Heaven. Angels are ranged before Him and guard by Allah's command. It is He Who sends down Peace of Reassurance into the hearts of believers. He gives us Thy presence, a Sustaining Power. Unto Him we cry, and unto Him is our return.

May Allah have mercy upon those who were reckoned feeble in the land and were in fear. May He give them refuge and strengthen them with His help and make provision of good things for them. May they be restored, that their eyes might be refreshed and might not sorrow. May they be delivered from great distress. Allah is the Mighty, the Wise. It is He Who showeth the lightening, a fear and a hope, and raiseth the heavy clouds. Allah is the Beneficent Summoner who hearest the faintest murmur. Lo! Our Protecting Friend is Allah Who revealeth the Scripture. His is the Command, and unto him ye will be brought back.

May Allah have mercy upon those who have met the Him on the Uppermost Horizon. Theirs are good tidings in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. Allah summoneth to the abode of Peace and leadeth whom he will to a straight path. Their Lord giveth them good tidings of mercy from Him, and acceptance and Gardens where enduring pleasure will be theirs. There they will abide forever. With Allah there is immense reward! Passing sweet will be the sequel of the Heavenly Home. Those who believe and do right: Joy is for them and bliss is their journey's end.

May Allah bless those who have done good works, in the destroyed townships and dwellings, for they are in high stations. May He relieve their minds, share their tasks, and confirm their strength in Him. Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him and those who are doers of good.
Allah is sufficient as a Friend, and Allah is sufficient as a Helper. Allah is ever a Witness over all things. Peace be unto them because they persevered.

Victory cometh only by the help of Allah!
May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you.
Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!
Ameen

God, I know that we are all your children. When one of us throws garbage out the window of the car or lets it fall from our fingers to the ground, the wind takes it and places it in another's yard, and that one must be the one to clean it up. I also know that when we are torn down, God, you exalt us. When every possession we own is stripped away, we know that the only possession we ever possess(ed) is your love and your grace, and that is sufficient for us. Amen.

Lord, You are not a God of Mistakes and I know You will show Your Will and in the same time reveal to them Your mercy and grace and love abundantly. Lord, break down the walls of bitterness, hurt and anger they may have against You Lord...Father forgive them and allow your Spirit to descend heavily upon the land. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen

God I feel hurt reading tehmina's prayer above and ask that it be stricken from this site by Beliefnet. As it is worded, I perceive that tehmina is judging other people as if tehmina is God, and the condemnation, in my opinion, is hurtful. The statement reads as follows: "they did not leave the poor kashmiris so god is giving them punishment. "

If I am doing the same thing, judging, by requesting this, please forgive me. And I forgive tehmina for viewing bad things that happen to people as punishment by God. I know we all see things differently, but I just feel very hurt reading those words.

I pray for your peace to fall on all people, especially those in India. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, Please be with the people of India. Wipe away their tears, and fill their hearts with hope and your love. I know that only you can do that for them. Please be with them, guide and direct them to your Loving and Forgiving Arms.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen

Great Spirit,

Please open the eyes of Tehmina and those like this person to the truth that you are love and that you love all, no matter how misguided their faith may be. Open their eyes just as you have the rest of these. As I read their prayers, I was touched that so many people of so many faiths would come together under you.

Now, please be with those whose earthly lives were taken by the earthquake; guide them into your light.

Help those that were left to continue their lives on the right path, to you. Comfort them, I pray, and heal their losses.

I know that you will do what you see fit and that what you see fit is always right, though it may not be apparent at this time. But I still ask of you what I have and have faith that you will do so.

On a personal note, Great Spirit, help BeliefNet to get up a pentacle image to post in the prayer circles.

So be it.

May Lord Ganesha remove all obstacles that the rescue workers face in bringing relief to the stricken survivors. May Mother Lakshmi shower Gujrat with bounty and return prosperity to the people, and may those who have passed find solace with lord Krishna and find favorable rebirths

Dear Lord,
Please help those who have suffered such tragic loss.
Help us, please to remember that you do not intervene when humans
build their dwellings, that you do not come to them and say 'Here you must
not build, for there will be tragedy'. Help us, please, to keep our faith in the
face of the Mystery of your Will, and in the face of the terrible events that sometimes occur, despite all Your blessings of strength and face that help\
us endure.
