Notes	People were created with the reality of being tested in various ways and for different reasons. The Quran confirms this fact by reporting the tests that many individuals and societies, including the prophets, have experienced throughout history. While people may be subjected to tests of their own will, they may also face tests that exceed their will. It can be said that every calamity that causes distress and torment is a great test for every person who suffers from it. In this context, natural disasters are among the troubles that are a test for people. However, there is an important point that should not be forgotten. The test covers not only the moment when the disaster occurs, but also the period after the effects of the disaster begin to disappear. As a matter of fact, in times of distress, most people tend to turn to Allah, regardless of their emotions, beliefs or tendencies. Because, in the face of the difficult situation he is in, a person first becomes aware of his own helplessness. People who realize their helplessness realize at that moment that the only one who can save them from such a difficult situation is Allah, the Almighty, who has infinite power, rather than any other helpless being like themselves. Naturally, with this understanding and insight, people tend to pray to God, voluntarily or unintentionally, in such situations. However, some of the people who turn to Allah in times of trouble may move away from the awareness of the test after the trouble is over and they are at peace. These types of people, whom the Quran concretizes through various examples, are those who forget the severity of the moment of distress and begin to make mistakes again. Unfortunately, people who move away from this awareness are those who try to turn the times that turn into a crisis environment after a disaster into an opportunity. Because such people forget that the situation they are in is a real test, they do not refrain from exhibiting behaviors that should not be taken. As a result of this, even if he patiently faces the moment when the calamity comes, he may become the loser of the test because he cannot exhibit the behaviors expected from him in the following process. However, the Quran reminds people of their duties and responsibilities in times of distress and calamity, and also points out what should not be done. Accordingly, after a great test such as a natural disaster, it advises people to maintain patience and fortitude in the face of a difficult situation and to come to the aid of those in need with sincerity and sincerity, while it also prevents negative attitudes that should be avoided in such situations. We have realized, through the Qur'an, that in such times, those who pass the real test are those who, with the permission of Allah, are free from hypocrisy and do good deeds without reward. In this context, in our study, the earthquake, which is one of the calamities that we may encounter as a test, and the duties and responsibilities of people after it will be examined, specifically the February 6 earthquakes. The negative and positive behaviors that emerged after the earthquake will be evaluated according to the Quran, and what should and should not be done will be tried to be determined in the light of the verses.
