Quran

Natural disaster is ordained by Allah:
Quran (9:51) – “Nothing will afflict us save what Allah has ordained for us”

Quran (11:117) – “Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong-doing, if its members were likely to mend.”

Quran (28:59) – “…And never did We destroy the townships unless the folk thereof were evil-doers.” ‘We’ refers to Allah. This verse refers to natural disaster.

Quran (57:22) – “No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before We bring it into existence: That is truly easy for Allah.” Allah wills misfortune in advance.

Quran (42:30) – “Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because on the things your hands have wrought” Your sin is solely responsible for any misfortune in your life.

Quran (28:17) – “O my Lord!… never shall I be a help to those who sin!” Taken with the above verses (57:22 and 42:30), this provides the logical argument that helping victims of disaster is actually against Allah’s will, since the unfortunates are merely suffering Allah’s punishment for sin and Muslims are not to help those in sin.

Quran (64:11) – “No calamity befalleth save by Allah’s leave…”

Quran (90:4) – “Verily We have created man into toil and struggle.”

Those who are blessed by Allah insult Allah by giving away their “gifts” to those whom Allah has not favored:

Quran (16:71) – “Allah has bestowed His gifts of sustenance more freely on some of you than on others: those more favored are not going to throw back their gifts to those whom their right hands possess, so as to be equal in that respect. Will they then deny the favors of Allah?”

Charity to non-Muslims? No. Muslims are told that non-believers are the “vilest of animals” and commanded to be ruthless toward them:

Quran (8:55) – “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve”

Quran (28:86) – “Never be a helper to the unbelievers.”

Quran (48:29) – Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves
