Tonga underwater volcano eruption triggers tsunami advisories

Spread The Viralist



Tongan geologists watched a massive plume of ash rise in the sky during a continuous eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on Jan. 14.

The Tonga Geological Services released images of what they said was a 5 km wide column of ash, gas, and steam rising 18-20 km above sea level.

On Saturday, Jan. 15, a further volcanic eruption triggered tsunami alerts for several Pacific nations, Australia, New Zealand and on the Pacific coastlines of Japan and the U.S.

    Say: O People of the Scripture! Do ye blame us for aught else than that we believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed aforetime, and because most of you are evil-livers ?

    [5:60]

    Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah ? (Worse is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road.

    [5:61]

    When they come unto you (Muslims), they say: We believe; but they came in unbelief and they went out in the same; and Allah knoweth best what they were hiding.

    [5:62]

    And thou seest many of them vying one with another in sin and transgression and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what they do.

    [5:63]

    Why do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their evil-speaking and their devouring of illicit gain ? Verily evil is their handiwork.

    [5:64]

    The Jews say: Allah’s hand is fettered. Their hands are fettered and they are accursed for saying so. Nay, but both His hands are spread out wide in bounty. He bestoweth as He will. That which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is certain to increase the contumacy and disbelief of many of them, and We have cast among them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection. As often as they light a fire for war, Allah extinguisheth it. Their effort is for corruption in the land, and Allah loveth not corrupters.

    [5:65]

    If only the People of the Scripture would believe and ward off (evil), surely We should remit their sins from them and surely We should bring them into Gardens of Delight.

    [5:66]

    If they had observed the Torah and the Gospel and that which was revealed unto them from their Lord, they would surely have been nourished from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them there are people who are moderate, but many of them are of evil conduct.

    [5:67]

    O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.

    [5:68]

    Say O People of the Scripture! Ye have naught (of guidance) till ye observe the Torah and the Gospel and that which was revealed unto you from your Lord. That which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) from thy Lord is certain to increase the contumacy and disbelief of many of them. But grieve not for the disbelieving folk.

    [5:69]

    Lo! those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabaeans, and Christians – Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right – there shall no fear come upon them neiither shall they grieve.

    [5:70]

    We made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel and We sent unto them messengers. As often as a messenger came unto them with that which their souls desired not (they became rebellious). Some (of them) they denied and some they slew.

    [5:71]

    They thought no harm would come of it, so they were wilfully blind and deaf. And afterward Allah turned (in mercy) toward them. Now (even after that) are many of them wilfully blind and deaf. Allah is Seer of what they do.

    [5:72]

    They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there will be no helpers.

    [5:73]

    They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of three; when there is no God save the One God. If they desist not from so saying a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.

    [5:74]

    Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of Him ? For Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

    [5:75]

    The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) had passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly woman. And they both used to eat (earthly) food. See how We make the revelations clear for them, and see how they are turned away!

    [5:76]

    Say: Serve ye in place of Allah that which possesseth for you neither hurt nor use ? Allah it is Who is the Hearer, the Knower.

    [5:77]

    Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion other than the truth, and follow not the vain desires of folk who erred of old and led many astray, and erred from a plain road.

    [5:78]

    Those of the Children of Israel who went astray were cursed by the tongue of David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they rebelled and used to transgress.

    [5:79]

    They restrained not one another from the wickedness they did. Verily evil was that they used to do!

    [5:80]

    Thou seest many of them making friends with those who disbelieve. Surely ill for them is that which they themselves send on before them: that Allah will be wroth with them and in the doom they will abide.

    [5:81]

    If they believed in Allah and the Prophet and that which is revealed unto him, they would not choose them for their friends. But many of them are of evil conduct.

    [5:82]

    Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews and the idolaters. And thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians. That is because there are among them priests and monks, and because they are not proud.

    [5:83]

    When they listen to that which hath been revealed unto the messengers, thou seest their eyes overflow with tears because of their recognition of the Truth. They say: Our Lord, we believe. Inscribe us as among the witnesses.

    [5:84]

    How should we not believe in Allah and that which hath come unto us of the Truth. And (how should we not) hope that our Lord will bring us in along with righteous folk ?

    [5:85]

    Allah hath rewarded them for that their saying – Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the reward of the good.

    [5:86]

    But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, they are owners of hell-fire.

    [5:87]

    O ye who believe! Forbid not the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress not, Lo! Allah loveth not transgressors.

    [5:88]

    Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed on you as food lawful and good, and keep your duty to Allah in Whom ye are believers.

    [5:89]

    Allah will not take you to task for that which is unintentional in your oaths, but He will take you to task for the oaths which ye swear in earnest. The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of the needy with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk, or the clothing of them, or the liberation of a slave, and for him who findeth not (the wherewithal to do so) then a three days’ fast. This is the expiation of your oaths when ye have sworn; and keep your oaths. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations in order that ye may give thanks.

    [5:90]

    O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan’s handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed.

    [5:91]

    Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of strong drink and games of chance, and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from (His) worship. Will ye then have done ?

    [5:92]

    Obey Allah and obey the messenger, and beware! But if ye turn away, then know that the duty of Our messenger is only plain conveyance (of the message).

  2. The Happiest Sad Birthday

    Let me tell you a true story that sends an important message to all of us. Halleli, a 4-year-old girl from Jerusalem with special needs, wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends from kindergarten. Her loving parents arranged for everything: the place, the food and sweets, a clown to entertain the kids, and various fun activities that all the children enjoy doing. All her friends from kindergarten had promised they would come, and Halleli couldn't wait to celebrate with them. But in the end, only one girl showed up. The candy, the clown, and the games just stood there, untouched and unwanted.

    The next day, heartbroken, the girl refused to go to kindergarten. Her parents were beside themselves with sorrow and worry for their child and didn't know how to comfort her. In his distress, Halleli's father posted on social media what had happened, and matters took a sharp turn for the better.

    A man from the neighborhood read the post and was overcome with emotion. "I have kids too," he thought. "What if she were my daughter?" He felt he had to do something to give that girl an experience that would wash away her sadness. He decided to throw her the birthday party of her life.

    He combed the neighborhood and told everyone about Halleli and that he was organizing a birthday party for her and asked everyone to come. A few days later, Halleli had her party. This time, hundreds of children and their parents showed up to make the little girl happy on her special day. Her parents were overjoyed and grateful beyond words to the kind stranger, and as for Halleli, her face beamed brighter than the sun.

    This story doesn't only tell us about human kindness. It is a warning sign. It demonstrates how heartless, perhaps even cruel, we can be if we are not organized and galvanized into positive action. It also proves the immense potential that lies in establishing mutual responsibility in society. When people who don't know each other help each other because this is the value they live by, there is no end to what such a society can achieve.

    The Jewish people became a nation when complete strangers found the words of their teacher, Abraham, compelling enough to implement. His teachings about kindness and mercy as the key to solving society's problems struck a chord in the hearts of his listeners and they joined his group. This is why mutual responsibility and "love your neighbor as yourself" are the tenets of Judaism – social laws that relate not to God but to our fellow person.

    Today, when alienation permeates every corner of human society, we desperately need mutual responsibility and care for others. These are the only qualities, the only values that can keep human society from collapsing altogether. Just as Abraham had found that the remedy to his homeland's social ills were care for others, all of us must now realize that the cure for heartlessness has not changed since ancient times. The only difference is that alienation has now spread throughout the world.

    Humanity must do today what the ancient Hebrews did – unite across divisions and establish love of others where today there is nothing but hatred. Perhaps such moving stories as the one about Halleli's birthday will help us realize that mutual responsibility is not a noble but unrealistic notion, but an imperative step we must take to ensure our survival as a functioning society.

  3. ALLEGEDLY: "WHAT DO YOU THINK, OF THE DESPOTIC: "BASILICA OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION SHRINE; CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY ALUMNI; NATIONAL CATHEDRAL": WASHINGTON DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA REGIME ATTACK, AND, RENDINGS, OF THOSE, IN THE MEDIA KNOW?????? GOT IT: "THE GREAT ISLAND RUSH!!!!!!" GOT IT: THEY "CAN DO SIR", CANCER, TO CHANGE THE WAY HUMANS "LOOK; LOOK"!!!!!!"

  4. you can thank the united nations and the free masonic communist party for this. can literally see the seismic wave from the bomb blast and you brainless sheeple actually believe what the media and government is telling you

  5. Iam from India I hear and felt tha sound of volcano small booms in 20mins 3 times and last one is very horrible😱

  6. You might want to look into the solar activity that occurred during Tonga Eruption. NASA has turned off search tool, so those images are unavailable but I took screenshots and posted them.

  7. So you mofos mean volcano is erupting because we are messing with "mother nature"? Stupid logic.. just pray for those who are affected by this eruption. PERIOD● nothing more nothing less. And guys please stop being such a religious lunatics like "Jesus is angry that's why people are suffering".

  8. And people are arrogant enough to think we are the ones causing global warming.
    This volcano put out more energy in 10 minutes than the 91 eruption in the Philippines did in nearly 2 weeks.

  9. If Tonga is where the day becomes brand new… What does that mean for the rest of the world? I am 18 hrs behind Tonga. So at 6am, I welcome the day twice. Because it is already 12am next day in Tonga. Tonga is important to me. I am praying for its citizens.

  10. HAARP. The HAARP facility needs to be blown to pieces. Same goes for CERN. These two installations must be blown to kingdom come!!

  11. Amazing scary and sad at the same time almost doesn't seem real but definitely is for those people suffering what other volcanos do we need to worry about also herd one of the biggest glaciers is about break off and melt cause the sea level to rise

  12. Well at least we know now where all the pressure went. Since that snap a few years back that almost totalled Japan, hopefully this'll even it out and not sink any islands. Stay safe Tonga❣
