Is it halal to eat meat of dead human being if there is nothing to eat in Islam?
> No, it is not halal to eat the meat of a dead human being in Islam. The consumption of human flesh is strictly prohibited in Islam, regardless of the circumstances.

> No, it is not halal to eat the meat of a dead human being in Islam. The consumption of human flesh is strictly prohibited in Islam, regardless of the circumstances. In the Quran, God states that he has created all of the inhabitants of the earth for the purpose of living in peace and harmony, and that no one has the right to take the life of another person or to consume their flesh. The Prophet Muhammad also taught that the taking of a single human life is equivalent to the destruction of all of humanity, and that the punishment for such a grave sin is severe. As such, it is never acceptable to eat the meat of a dead human being, regardless of the circumstances.
I have been answered by [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/chat) to the question *"Is it halal to eat meat of dead human being if there is nothing to eat in Islam?"*
Do you agree? Why?

How is "Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope" compatible with people dying in natural disasters?

> Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. -- Qur'an 2:286 (Muhsin Khan translation.)
I'm trying to get a better grasp as to what this means. People die in natural disasters, so logically it seems either:
- natural disasters are not a burden,
- natural disasters are a burden, but are not Allah's burden, or
- natural disasters are Allah's burden, but dying in a natural disaster is not considered beyond a person's scope.
None of these make much sense. The first point seems obviously silly (except perhaps at some abstract level of thinking). The second point contradicts the nature of Allah (see: https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/2150/17163) . If the third point is true, it raises into question what "beyond his scope" actually means if death is not considered beyond someone's scope.
**Question**: How is "Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope" compatible with people dying in natural disasters?

Does God cause natural disasters?
How are Muslims informed by their religion to view large-scale natural disasters? In Islam, does God control those phenomena?

Do Earthquakes come because the Almighty is not happy with us?
Generally Muslims believe when God is not happy with us, or something is seriously going wrong on earth, he sends some type of destruction to the people in one form or another. It could be wind (hurricane,) earth (Earthquake,) sea (Tsunami,) and other forms. Some say it is for punishing the people w...
Generally Muslims believe when God is not happy with us, or something is seriously going wrong on earth, he sends some type of destruction to the people in one form or another. It could be wind (hurricane,) earth (Earthquake,) sea (Tsunami,) and other forms. Some say it is for punishing the people who are on wrong path or warning the people that are doing something wrong.
**Is this a correct belief in Islam? Is there evidence that supports this?** Note that Christians also have the same belief.
*My question is not about natural disasters in general, which can come in an enormous number of forms that no one can think about at one time. My question is about Earthquakes, hurricanes and tusnamis that were known at the time of the prophet, and we can probably find some reference to it.*

What can be the reason behind natural disestar?

Islamic history says about many generations/tribes/cities which were destroyed with natural disasters, as a punishment of their wrongdoings. Quran brought out various types of stories about theses. It pointed out that when people crossed their limits in wrongdoing, then Allah punished them with natural disasters, and the people who were righteous was rescued. Though it was never said that natural disaster won't happen in random. But it focused about a cause of natural disaster.
(From my personal experience, I'd say, everything really happen for a purpose. But I do know only about my life, not about others not even about the whole world. As we fall sick sometimes and we don't care much about these just because we don't get time to think about these. But when I was sick during a critical(during my final) time and was so sick, even hospitalized for the first time and that made me thoughtful about the reason(I do want to mention that I felt like I was responsible for this, while I was facing various obstacles with life I had a lots of complains about these and used to say why don't I die! and the answer came just after one year later). And later on, 6 months ago I got into an accident, after that I got many advices, suggestions from well wisher to be careful about my movements, how I got into the accident! (but, cant help to say, that day when I was going outside I repeatedly was praying to Allah to protect me from an incident) And that day I broke my leg, first time serious accident in my life and had to stay home for few months. And it helped me from not to face the thing I was afraid of. So, was it an answer, wasn't these things were purposeful? PS: I do know about mine, not about others. Trust me, every wrong thing happened to me, I find a reason behind it that I should care about.)
Today earthquake happened in my country in high scale. And in some other countries (ex-Nepal) many people died. My country is in high risk too. So, according to these thoughts, I was wondering, what is the actual reason behind natural disasters? I didn't know about any Islamic research on it. If there is any, what is the answer? Does disaster can happen just randomly or its an admonition from our creator? To the wrongdoers?

In the Quran, Allah has used natural disasters as a way of punishing those who have acted against his will (such as the people of Lut whom he destroyed for being homosexuals).
Is the hurricane Allah sent an example of his displeasure with the US? Their refusal to embrace Islam, their violence towards muslims and refusal to help remove the Alawite tyrants in Syria?
Are there anything else in islam which could back this up?
