Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is an earthquake a punishment from Allah?

Answer:
Every calamity that occurs is a punishment. Allah the Exalted said:
And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earnedوَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:30]
All calamities, whether in persons, wealth, farms, lands, earthquakes, rains, drowning, or fire, are among the calamities caused by sins, without a doubt.
