Establish an Emergency Musholla in Pacet Refuge, Grandpa Kosasih: Prayers Are More Calm and Solemn

CIANJUR, West Java: Entering Ashar time, survivors who were in the evacuation area of Buniaga Village RT 01 / RW 06 Ciherang Village, Pacet District, rushed to carry out prayer services at the Emergency Musholla of the refuge. The reason is that many Musholla and Mosques in the region have been devastated by the impact of Cianjur’s Earthquake on Monday, November 21, 2022. 

Yes, some musholla in the Buniaga Village area has been razed. Even there, residents are worried that the Mosque building can collapse again. Especially if it rains, water can stagnate in tents, said Grandpa Kosasih (74) after Ashar prayers at the Emergency Musholla Wednesday (30/11/2022)

Prayers are quiet and tiasa jama’ah. Seagrass saacana pan prayer in the tent, sorangan wae. And teu khuyuk kitu (Prayer is calmer and can be congregational. If you previously prayed in a tent, just by yourself. And less solemn), said Grandpa Kosasih on the Dompet Dhuafa team. 

Seeing this condition, the DMC (Disaster Management Center) team of Dompet Dhuafa established an Emergency Musholla, self-help with survivors there. Measuring approximately 7 x 5 square meters, the Musholla accommodates up to 35 pilgrims.

“The impact of the earthquake constrains mosques in the surrounding area; survivors also need more decent places of worship. There are 33 households/150 inhabitants here. Previously they prayed in tents, so as an early recovery response, Dompet Dhuafa initiated making Emergency Musholla here,” said Adib, the DMC team of Dompet Dhuafa, as the PIC of Response in the Cipanas area, Cianjur.

In the region, the DMC response team has rolled out Public Kitchen, Medical, Cozi (Nutrition Corner) assistance, and Logistics assistance. 

It is indeed very urgent, so we both look at the situation in the future if there is a possibility that we will establish a semi-permanent Emergency Mosque like in Cianjur,” added Adib.
