Disaster is something always happens around human life. Those catastrophic events occured one after anothers and the intensity increases in contemporary times. In that context, it is necessary to attempt selfreflection and build knowledge about the disaster in religious perspective. Actually, the disaster in the Qur'an has been widely described.

This brief article will review these matters with the theological approach.
