I was absolutely shocked and heartbroken to hear about the mushola at Ponpes Al Khoziny Sidoarjo collapsing during Asr prayer. It’s truly a devastating incident that weighs heavily on my mind, especially knowing how central these prayer rooms are to the daily lives of students and the wider community. When I saw the headlines about the ‘kondisi ponpes’ and the ‘mushola ponpes’ in Sidoarjo, my immediate reaction was a mix of disbelief and deep concern. My thoughts immediately went to everyone who might have been inside or nearby during the collapse. Asr prayer is a time when many gather, and it's terrifying to imagine the chaos and fear that must have ensued. The news reports, even if brief, paint a grim picture, and I can only hope that rescue and evacuation efforts, as highlighted by #evakuasi, are swift and successful in helping anyone affected. This kind of tragedy truly makes you pause and think about the safety of our public and communal spaces. While we don't know the exact reasons yet, it brings to light the importance of regular structural checks and maintenance, especially for older buildings or those heavily used. A mushola isn't just a building; it's a spiritual home, a place of solace and community gathering. To see it in such a state is incredibly painful. I can only imagine the immense distress and uncertainty the students, staff, and their families at Ponpes Al Khoziny must be experiencing right now. Beyond the immediate physical damage, there's the emotional toll and the profound disruption to their routines, their sense of belonging, and their spiritual life. A pesantren is more than just a school; it's a second home for many, a place where character is built and knowledge is sought. The community spirit in Sidoarjo is renowned, and I truly hope everyone comes together to support the pesantren during this incredibly challenging period. Whether it's through offering prayers for those affected, providing practical help to the victims and the school, or simply showing solidarity and compassion, every bit of support will make a significant difference. It’s times like these that truly test our resilience and unity. Let’s keep everyone involved in our prayers – those injured, the dedicated emergency responders working tirelessly on site, and the entire Ponpes Al Khoziny family as they navigate this difficult situation. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly things can change and how critically important it is to cherish our communities and ensure the safety and structural integrity of our sacred spaces. I’m really hoping for positive updates regarding any casualties and a strong, swift recovery for the pesantren. Stay strong, Sidoarjo – your community is with you!
