Brilio.net - The month of Ramadan is a month full of blessings in the Islamic religion. So that in that month, Muslims all over the world will compete to seek as many rewards as possible. Because, the month of Ramadan is a month that is specially privileged by Allah SWT.
This is also done by the people of Jambi , more precisely in Ulu Gedong Village, Danau Teluk District, Jambi City. It can be seen that their enthusiasm for worship is still burning even though the area is being flooded. The story can be seen in the TikTok video posted by the account @kausaradinata.
Indeed, the Jambi area of the opposite city is being hit by flooding. According to the local National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), the flood was caused by the overflowing of the Batanghari River. As water levels continue to rise, it is likely that flooding will affect the surrounding area.

So, the roads in the area were submerged. This certainly makes it a little difficult for people to come to worship at the mosque. This is because the stagnant water in the area is getting higher day by day.
However, the people there are not at their wit's end. Instead of giving up their intention to worship, they instead found other ways to still go to the mosque. Namely by going by boat. Not just one person , almost all the congregation, were forced to go to the mosque by boat.
As seen in the video, the mosque is safe from flooding because the building is tall. Meanwhile, the congregation should not park their vehicles in front of the mosque. There are dozens of them that people use for worship.
" Thank God it's still busy ," wrote the video owner in the caption.

The video maker said that the roads after being hit by floods were indeed unfit for motorized vehicles. Because if you force it, the motorbike has the potential to die because the engine and exhaust sink. That's why they flocked to use boats.
Moments like this lasted until the second day of Ramadan. Tarawih has been held twice but the water has not receded. After tarawih prayers, some people also hold tadarusan. It looks like there are lots of children.
" No wonder Jambi opposite is nicknamed the Yemeni tahtul, keep up the enthusiasm bro, " wrote the account @ndhrryhn
Jambi, the opposite city, is indeed very strong in its Islamic religion. In a journal written by As'ad Imsa', he said that for a long time this region had been known as an adherent of the Islamic religion who was very firm in upholding and implementing its teachings. Almost all aspects of life refer to Islamic law, so Jambi, the opposite city, is nicknamed the Veranda of Mecca of Jambi.

In fact, for studying religion, the opposite city of Jambi is also on the highly recommended list. Because there are many Islamic boarding schools and educational centers there. Such as, Ma'had Al Mubarak Islamic Boarding School, As'ad Islamic Boarding School and so on.
In fact, it is so strongly associated with Islamic religion that this place has also received the nickname Tahtul Yemen. In an article published by the Jambi Ministry of Religion, Tahtul Yemen, an area in Seberang City, Jambi, has a rich history as a center for Islamic education.
In the past, Tahtul Yemen was a gathering point for Islamic scientists who returned to Jambi after studying in Saudi Arabia. These scientists founded Islamic boarding schools and madrasas, making Tahtul Yemen an important center for the spread of religious knowledge and Islamic knowledge in Jambi. The existence of Tahtul Yemen played a central role in the progress of Islam in Jambi, producing many clerics and religious figures who were influential in society.
It is only natural that the enthusiasm and enthusiasm for worship of the people of Jambi, the opposite city, is so strong. It cannot be blocked by anything, even floods like in the video.
The post went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Of course, many are amazed by the spirit of worship of the people there. Although quite a few netizens are also confused by the video.
