I recognize that skyline, Natty. When the sun gets blotted out by haze, that's happened around here due to massive burning in neighboring countries. So that's probably from the California wildfires. Google says the California fires were started by lightning, while the Oregon fires were started by trees falling on power lines. Wild and forest fires have been happening forever. Usually it clears up with the rain, sometimes it takes more rain than others. But the smoke that won't go away, that's new. The smoke is prophesied in the Qur'an as being a sign of Judgement Day. Divine providence is always in reaction to human transgression, like the coronavirus ravaging an economic system where the poor deserve to die. But few people care about divine providence more than their personal pride, what they can see and touch, or the cash on the table. And that's the point: God will stick it to the humans in a way they will understand and accept, because they treated the earth like their own personal pedestal and trash can, and because they treated God like a non-factor. This happens on Judgement Day and we all will have to wait until then, because God is actually really nice.
But if lightning caused the fires, how is it the humans' fault? Well, if the air is already saturated with smog then the sun can get faster blotted out by the smoke. Perhaps the smoke will go away with the rain. Maybe. Eventually it won't go away at all.
Natty, from those palm trees I guess that you're still in California. Please keep your distance from others, and neutralize even the slightest sensation of a cold or flu symptom. If you have to work then you have to work, but please protect your health because you are my girl, and I love you. Please protect your health for us.
