How accurate is the circulating message attributed to Dr. Zaghloul El Naggar that the cause of the Asian earthquake is the disruption of the Earth's rotation and its slowing down, indicating the proximity of the major signs and the sunrise from its west?

Dr. Zaghloul El-Naggar denied the authenticity of the circulating message attributed to him, confirming that "it is completely baseless" and an attempt to spread myths in his name. He clarified that the Hereafter has its own laws that differ from those of this world, and that it will come suddenly, as mentioned in the Holy Quran. He also explained that the immense mass of the Earth means that earthquakes, no matter how powerful, cannot change the Earth's rotational speed except by a very tiny amount, not exceeding a millionth of a second. This refutes the idea that these are among the major signs of the Hour, which the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, specified with precision. He added that earthquakes are a punishment for sins and transgressions, citing verses from the Holy Quran.
