By Amreen Fatima
Makkah, Saudi Arabia – A stunning and eerie moment unfolded as lightning struck the iconic Clock Tower in Makkah, sending shockwaves across Saudi Arabia and capturing the attention of social media users. The rare and powerful strike, which lit up the skies of the holy city, was widely shared online, leaving many in awe of the natural phenomenon.
While the images and videos of the lightning strike were breathtaking, they also stirred deeper reflections among those who witnessed the event. Some began to ponder whether this extraordinary occurrence held a greater meaning. The phrase “Show mercy to those on earth, and the One above will show mercy to you,” echoed in the minds of many, serving as a reminder of the importance of compassion and empathy.
In a world where violence and cruelty have reached unprecedented levels, with people turning against each other in their thirst for blood, the sight of the lightning bolt striking the Clock Tower sparked a sense of unease. “Who knows what the Creator’s plan is?” some wondered, as they reflected on the increasing suffering and lack of empathy in the world. The phrase “Who knows what the Creator’s intention is?” underscores the uncertainty that many feel in these troubling times.
The stark reality is that humanity seems to have lost its way, with compassion and kindness fading into oblivion. “Humanity seems to have disappeared,” encapsulates the sorrowful observation that today’s rulers often govern without conscience, prioritizing power over morality. “Today, many rulers govern by killing their conscience,” reflects the disillusionment with those in positions of power.
As violence escalates worldwide, the phrase “The world has reached the pinnacle of oppression, yet everyone chooses to remain silent,” resonates with the growing frustration over global injustices.
Amidst these dark times, the lightning strike in Makkah serves as a powerful reminder that there is a higher power witnessing all that unfolds. “All this is known to God, the Creator of the world and its inhabitants,” serves as a reminder that divine justice is inevitable. However, there is a lingering fear that this extraordinary event could be a precursor to something more ominous. “May this celestial flash not turn into a divine calamity,” captures the anxiety and uncertainty that this event has stirred in the hearts of many.
