research and development at Channel Islam International. Jameela in Aceh told me
that she did not realize at first how serious the situation was. But, when she
turned her face around she saw the water was very dark and about 7 meters [23
feet] high heading to catch her. She realized it must be a tsunami, and I left
her car and ran as fast as she could. Turning right she noticed the water about
150 meters away from her home heading to the main street. She jumped and
climbed the roof on the second floor. Sobbing, she says “After that I
made salaah, and every body followed and only around 20 to 30 people climbed
like I did. I waited until the water started cooling down. I sat on the second
floor, which belonged to my neighbour, for about five hours. Under a very hot
sun. You can see on a map of Aceh where I live. I live at Rawa sakti Barat In response to
the sheer loss, let us pull together to raise funds and send help in any way
possible. *************************************************************************** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
