Keude Simpang Keramat Kabupaten Aceh has just grieved. On Saturday 27 January 2018, I got word from my friend that there had been a fire at Keude Simpang Keramat which had swallowed three stores. Although there were no casualties in the fire accident, there was a deep sadness for the families of the victims who were no longer shelter, businesses to meet their daily needs, clothing and home supplies had also been burned. Nothing was left, only dust and scorched wood were scattered. All eyes can only look and clean the debris of the scattered buildings. Only help is needed by them to survive in evacuation and hope from the government to extend a hand to the fire victim.
But there is a very moving story about a sheet of paper that does not burn in a blazing fire. Yet everyone knows the paper is most easily burned by fire. This is the secret of Allah's power. Did you know that the contents of the paper is a verse of the Qur'an that contains the word of Allah and the holy book for Muslims around the world.
In the burning fire and have burnt down three shops, but only the Qur'an is not burning fire and still intact like all forms. This inspires my heart that we should keep the Qur'an by reading it, to stab it in the holy place of dirt and hold it after the ablution. Do it with heart, may Allah grant grace for us all. Amen.
