On December 26, 2004, a devastating earthquake measuring 9.1 on Richter scale shook the Indian Ocean off the coast of North Sumatra, Indonesia. The earthquake caused a Tsunami which swept over a number of beaches around Indian Ocean. More than 230,000 people died and millions were left homeless. One of the cities most effected was Lhoknga city, on the west coast of Sumatra, near the capital city of Aceh, Banda Aceh. The city was flattened but a miracle occurred. A mosque survived and stood firm amidst the destruction. All the Muslims and many locals believe that divine intervention saved the Tahmat ullah Mosque. The name of the Mosque is in Arabic which means the "Blessings of Allah". Yes this was the Blessing of Allah that saved the Mosque and the hundred copies of Divine Book Quran e Hakeem. The Sacred Book of Muslims.
