| Tha banner of the Wisata Spiritual Tsunami Aceh |
One of the main missions to Aceh on the 9th until 12th October was to visit tsunami-affected locations with the view to share the suffering of the victims, feel the greatness of Allah swt, and observe how post-tsunami Aceh has been reconstructed. All these were to relate to the Islamic tasawur as is thought in Islamic Epistemology and Tasawur course taken by the ISDEV Master (Mixed Mode) students, who were also the organizers of the trip.
The tsunami-affected locations visited and other activities related to the Wisata Spiritual Tsunami are reflected in the following photos.
