Islam's compassionate merciful god allow disasters & pain

Are those who rescue hurricane and earthquake victims more "compassionate & merciful" than He who causes earthquakes?

So our Debate Question is "Just how is Allah being "compassionate and merciful" when he allows the hurricanes and earthquakes that maim and kill children and other living creatures?

In Quran 21:31 we read: "And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with them." But clearly the earth still violently shakes at times. Why does omnipotent Allah refrain from forever preventing earthquakes?
