Countries around the world are being hit with weather-related disasters, causing severe damage and loss of life. Wildfires, torrential rains, excessive heat, mudslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have struck all parts of the Earth.
In the U.S., millions were under flood alerts across the Midwest while fires forced evacuations in Colorado. Volcanoes erupted in Japan and Indonesia, and extreme heat is still impacting parts of Europe.
These recent calamities bear witness to the prophetic warnings about Allah’s (God’s) Divine Judgment consistently and faithfully issued by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, and His National Representative, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad warned that America is under Allah’s (God’s) Judgment for its continued abuse and mistreatment of the Black man and woman. He warned that Allah would use His Forces of nature, such as rain, hail, snow and earthquakes, to punish America.
In Chapter 35 of His book, “The Fall of America,” the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad writes, “The four great judgments that Almighty Allah (God) is bringing upon America are rain, hail, snow and earthquakes.
We see them now covering all sides of America, as the Holy Qur’an prophesies, curtailing her on all her sides. And these judgments would push the people into the center of the country, and there they would realize that it is Allah (God) Who is bringing them and their country to a naught.”
Minister Farrakhan has issued his constant warning, “Watch the weather.” Minister Farrakhan also cautioned that these weather disasters would also strike other countries.
“Watch what is happening to America and the world with weather. You said Allah doesn’t need these little cheap weapons to fight with. He fights with rain, hail, snow, earthquakes, wind, fire, and freezing cold. Allah has destroyed nations with gnats.
Just a bug—you can’t fight Allah and win,” Minister Farrakhan said, during a 2018 interview with His Excellency Mohsen Rezaee, the secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council, a legislative branch of the Iranian government in Tehran. This interview was published in Vol. 38 No. 9 and No. 10 of The Final Call.
“After I give a lecture, I tell the people to watch the weather and then I leave. I’m going to say it again when I leave here, watch the weather and see what Allah is going to do inside and outside of America,” Minister Farrakhan said. What these two Divine Servants of Allah (God) have taught continues coming to pass.
For the Midwest, the worst as of Aug. 8-12 included multiple rounds of heavy rain and severe storms, which brought dangerous flash flooding, large hail, and damaging winds. Dubbed “violent,” “generational,” “unpredictable,” and “unprecedented,” the storms impacted millions from the South to the upper Midwest.
At Final Call presstime, residents in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were recovering from record-setting rainfall, which sparked floods.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley declared a state of emergency on Aug. 10, indicating in a press statement that torrential rainfall exceeding 10 inches, with an additional two inches forecasted, had overwhelmed local drainage systems.
Widespread flooding and extensive damage to homes, businesses, roadways, and parks posed an imminent threat to public safety. Increased lightning strikes also caused structural damage to homes and businesses, necessitating immediate emergency response and recovery efforts.
Wisconsin was hit with record-breaking rainfall on Aug. 9, leaving 16,000 without power, causing severe flooding that submerged cars, forced evacuations and shut down the final day of the Wisconsin State Fair, held in the West Allis suburb of Milwaukee.
“The rain and flooding that took place over the weekend was truly a generational event. … The sadness, anger and trauma are all very real,” said members of the Milwaukee Common Council in a joint statement issued Aug. 11. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a flood warning for Wisconsin on Aug. 11.
In Milwaukee, resources to assist those impacted included Department of Public Works free special bulky item pickups for households with city garbage collection service, drop-off centers with extended hours, and U-Haul was offering 30 days of free storage services to flood victims for new self-storage rentals and U-Box rentals.
The American Red Cross of Wisconsin established two shelters (Holler Park and Washington Park Senior Center) to assist residents affected by flooding with care, food, power and additional resources.
County Executive Crowley strongly urged residents to stay cautious, stay informed, and refrain from traveling. Firefighters reportedly responded to over 600 calls, including gas leaks, flooded basements, electrical outages, and water rescues, according to a News 9 report.
Earlier this year, Student Minister Ishmael Muhammad, National Assistant to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, reminded the world of the Minister’s constant warnings. “My God … the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has been telling us for years to ‘watch the weather.’
Fire on one side of the country, ice and storms on the other side; extreme weather events striking the country,” said Student Min. Ishmael Muhammad, in a message he delivered from Minister Farrakhan at Saviours’ Day 2025 in Chicago, titled, “Repent, For The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand.”
“Not only here in America, but all over the world. The events are telling us that we have entered into a very serious and troubled time. A time that the prophet Daniel said has never been and never to be equaled,” said Student Min. Ishmael Muhammad.
“The calamities we are witnessing are written of in the Gospel of Matthew as ‘the beginning of sorrows,’” Nation of Islam Student Southwest Regional Minister Abdul Haleem Muhammad, who also is a Ph.D. in urban planning, told The Final Call.
“Are we passing through what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote in ‘The Fall of America’ as ‘the lull before the storm?’” he added.
“This is not something that any of us can escape, the Wrath of God,” said Student Min. William Muhammad of Mosque No. 3 in Milwaukee. “We are in the midst of America.
As a people, we have refused to separate, so if Allah is going to spank our oppressor, He’s going to spank us as well, … for different reasons. We are also told in the Holy Qur’an to pray, guard against the day when not just the unjust would suffer loss as a result of The Judgment,” he added.
In addition to Wisconsin, according to ABC News, active severe weather continued to unfold from Colorado through Missouri on Aug. 10. Severe thunderstorm watches were in effect earlier that day in Omaha, Nebraska, and Des Moines, Iowa.
Further, the station reported, parts of Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico remained under a severe thunderstorm watch until 8 p.m. that day. Storms hitting the area were producing damaging winds and isolated large hail.
Also, a flood watch was issued from Wichita, Kansas, to Milwaukee through Aug. 11, and included the cities of Madison, Wisconsin, Kansas City, Kansas, and Rockford, Illinois, according to ABC News.
Also in Colorado, the Lee Fire in Rio Blanco County forced the evacuation of Rifle Correctional Center on Aug. 9, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC).
The Lee Fire, reportedly caused by lightning, began on Aug. 2. According to USA Today, it is nearing the fifth-largest blaze in Colorado history. In California, the Canyon Fire, which at presstime was at 96% containment, had burned 5,000 acres in the Los Angeles area.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck Balikesir province in Turkey, killing one elderly woman, collapsing 16 buildings and injuring at least 29 people, according to the Associated Press (AP). Aftershocks from the epicenter in the town of Sindirgi were felt some 125 miles to the north of Istanbul—a city of more than 16 million people, according to AP’s Aug. 10 update.
Mount Marapi, a volcano located between the Agam and Tanah Datar districts in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province, erupted Aug. 12. Volcanology officials reported that volcanic ash rose approximately 1,600 meters above the summit, News.Az reported, citing Indonesian media.
And, at Final Call presstime, Typhoon Podul had struck Taiwan and was headed toward China.
“In China, the coastal provinces of Fujian and Guangdong recalled fishing boats to port and evacuated around 15,000 people living near the coast to shelters further inland,” reported AP.
Parts of South Korea were being pounded by heavy rain “turning roads into chocolate-colored rivers and disrupting traffic, as authorities issued flood and landslide warnings near water sources and hills,” AP also reported.
“More than 7.8 inches of rain fell in parts of Seoul and the nearby cities of Gimpo, Goyang, and Incheon, where residents salvaged belongings and used plastic containers to bail water from properties damaged by flash floods.”
Mexico City, Mexico, experienced rains that forced the closure of its airport, and according to several reports, it is having one of its rainiest seasons in years.
In Europe, an intense heat wave continued impacting several countries. Temperatures hit 109.4 degrees in Southern France and the heat raised wildfire risks in Hungary and Bulgaria and affected other countries like the U.K.
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, in a message he delivered, titled, “God Will Send Saviours” on February 27, 2011, he explained that “Allah (God) is fighting now to deliver us in the exact manner that He said He would through the mouth of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.”
“Remember his words from the book ‘The Fall of America’; that God is going to use the Four Great Judgments of rain, hail, snow and earthquakes: ‘The Four great judgments that Almighty Allah (God) is bringing upon America are rain, hail, snow and earthquakes. …
The forces of nature are great weapons as we see them in play upon America. … What can you do with a God like that?’ This is taking place not only in America, but throughout the world!” Minister Farrakhan said.
