Two decades have passed since a catastrophic tsunami wreaked havoc on the village of Lampuuk in Aceh Besar, Indonesia. The tsunami, triggered by a powerful 9.1-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra on December 26, 2004, claimed the lives of approximately 230,000 individuals across multiple countries, with Aceh province bearing the brunt of the disaster.
The waves, reaching over 30 meters high, reshaped the coastline of Aceh, causing widespread destruction. Despite the devastation, the Rahmatullah Mosque stood resilient amidst the chaos, becoming an iconic symbol of hope in the aftermath.
