The earthquake swarm in Christchurch Friday was a gruesome reminder of how violent natural disasters can be.Words seem so inadequate to describe our feelings towards our fellow citizens in Christchurch. Our hearts go out to all the resilient Cantabrians who had to go through such a difficult time. Please remember that all New Zealanders are with you in your time of distress.

Once again, we offer our sympathies to the entire Christchurch community, and we pray that Allah (swt) blesses them with mercy and guidance in the weeks and months ahead.
