Death toll in Indonesia's twin quake-tsunami disaster passes 1,400 as rescuers scramble to locate survivors. The death toll in  Indonesia 's twin quake-tsunami disaster has climbed above 1,400, with time running out to rescue survivors five days after the disaster struck. Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for Indonesia's disaster agency spokesperson, said the official death toll stood at 1,407 on Wednesday, with thousands injured and more than 70,000 displaced from their homes. Food, water, fuel and medicine was still slow to reach the hardest-hit areas outside the city of Palu on Sulawesi island, and the UN has warned of "vast" unmet needs there.

The number of confirmed deaths stood at 844 on Tuesday, most of them in Palu, the main city in the disaster zone, where rescuers were hunting for victims in the ruins. "We suspect there are still some survivors trapped inside," the head of on rescue team, Agus Haryono, told Reuters at the collapsed seven-storey Hotel Roa Roa. About 50 people were believed to have been trapped when the hotel was brought down by the 7.5 magnitude earthquake on Friday. The quake triggered tsunami waves as high as six meters

Hadhrat Abu Talha (رضي الله عنه) and his Salaat

Hadhrat Abu Talha (Radhiyallaho anho) was once saying his Salaat in his garden. His attention was drawn towards a bird that flitted about, but could not find a way out of the dense foliage. For a short moment, he followed the bird with his eyes, and forgot the number of his rakaat. Upon this mishap, his sorrow knew no bounds. He repaired to the Prophet's (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) presence straightway and submitted thus: " O Prophet of Allah , this garden of mine has been the cause of a diversion in my Salaat. I give it away in the cause of Allah. Kindly spend it as may appear proper to you." A similar chance befell one of the Ansaar in the time of Hadhrat Usman (Radhiyallaho anho) . He was saying his Salaat in his garden. The branches of the trees were weighed down with ripe juicy dates, luxurious abundance, which caught his eyes, and he felt pleased with it. This made him forget the number of his rakaat. He was so much stricken with grief that he decided
