Do not panic or run away from your homes just pray to Almighty Allah that this will not happen to us here in Oman.

A reliable source in ROP told me today that an Indian Psychic who predicted the Tsunami in Indonesia and Thailand has come specially to Oman to warn the people of a similar tsunami hitting the Qurum area this Wednesday 9th of May 2007 the Tsunami will be proceeded by heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th of May .

How true is this, God only knows, this rumor is spreading fast in Oman and I heard it from different people, believe it or not it's up to you.

It's hard for scientists to predict earthquakes (that big or small, happen VERY often all around the world) let alone tsunamis.

Unless the tsunami has already been triggered and will get there in 4 days time.. but I doubt that :rolleyes:

Do not believe everything you receive in spam, erm.. I mean your mail inbox. :p

:cute: If that was true they "ROP" would have said something on the news:os

Normally that's what countries do "alert thier people not spread rumors:p " I don't buy this. Best thing to do is log onto one of these weather sites and check what's predicited 4 the coming days!

Do you think It is true the rumors I have heard from many people lately.
They said, the one who predicted about Sunami disaster ( without knowing his name ) , predicted lately, that Oman - Qurm only:-)) “strange rumors”. Will go through the same disaster after few days, some said on the 7th of may some said on the 9th of may.

Do you believe these rumors, if you don't why do you think some people spread such rumors,

What they want to gain out of it.

I thought maybe some theafes, want people get scared and move out of their houses, so they can steal them easily (God Knows)

Lahhawlah ! Why such a wishful curse ? What have they got against you ?

I can not believe there are such a people who hates without justification ?!
Maasha`Allah !

Anyway, Is this Indian guys the same one who predicted end of the world in 2000 ? Or this is the guy who warned of computer crash by 2000 ? Or is this the same guy who started the rumour on Rustaq thingy ? Or the guy who posted this thread here is spreading malicious rumour ? Or and Or :p

What does Sablah rules say about sources of malicious rumours ?

Could we envite the Predictor as a guest till that date passes ? Lest something different happens and then he claims credit of not being explicit i.e, that he didn't mean water sunami but bla bla bla :boo:

What is next ?

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayers will not accepted for forty days.” Narrated by Muslim (2230).

"Whoever ... or goes to a fortune-teller and believes what he says, has disbelieved in that which Allaah revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” Narrated by Ahmad (9779)


And in the Holy Quran, the story of the Jinn with Solomon, when they did not know he died:

“Then when We decreed death for him [Sulaymaan (Solomon)], nothing informed them (jinn) of his death except a little worm of the earth which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick. So when he fell down, the jinn saw clearly that if they had known the Unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment”

So if a flood really happens, it's either that our religion is 100% wrong, OR the sayings are wrong..

It means that the a fortune-teller (3araf) claims to know the '3ayb (the unknown), and we all know that only Allah knows the unknown.

So even if what this guy said is true he is still a lier. "كذب المنجمون ولو صدقوا"

People are gullible.

I've read once on The Week of a prank spread by an astronaut on April's fool. That on that particular day, at a particular hour, for a second the Earth's gravity will stop, and people would have this sensational feeling.

That was a prank, of course.

But, they got dozens of calls from people saying they've "Felt it!".

Predicting a Tsunami on a "certain date" is impossible. Saying there will be a Tsunami in the future based on history of earthquakes/tsunaims in the past is not unreasonable. Odds are there will be one in the future.

Oman has has been affected by earthquakes in the region in the past. There is an article in the GulfTimes about this and an early warning system being put in place.

Just remember if you are at the beach and the water goes wayyyy out ... RUNNNNN for the high ground!
