This is really a tough time for the whol nation and specially for the muslims that in the Holy month of Ramadhan such a disaster occure. We as muslims must know that Allah Almighty is not please with our acts that we are doing. We must make Astaghfar for our sins and begged to Allah to Give courage and patience to the effected families.
