Ustadz Hanafi, CEO of the Company

Zainab, Princess Haji Sofyan

By 2046, Natuna Island will be the largest port city in Southeast Asia. Every day, hundreds of ships pass around the Port, both cargo and passenger ships.

Every ship that comes from the north, will stop by first to Natuna Island, before they continue their journey to Indonesia or to the strait of Malacca.

On the island of Natuna, Musi Corporation through its transportation division has a passenger ship base. At the base, lean various types of ships from small to very large.

The Musi Energy Corporation division has dozens of Solar Energy Fuel Filling Stations (SPBBES) on the island. And to understand, at that time almost all ships fueled Solar Energy.

The second daughter Haji Sofyan worked as an expert staff at the Musi Corporation Ship Base, while her husband served as the Head of the General Section at the Base.

The third daughter, Haji Sofyan, and her husband, are partners in the Energy division of Musi Corporation. They have about 7 SPBBES operating on Natuna Island.

While the eldest daughter Haji Sofyan married one of the sons of a fish master on Natuna Island, then the 4th daughter Haji Sofyan joined her husband who worked as a lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaam Malaysia.

Of the 6 children of Haji Sofyam, only 2 people still live with him, namely Malik the youngest son of the only one, and his brother named Zainab.

Zainab is 2 years older than Ustadz Hanafi. Ustadz Hanafi usually calls with a yuk enab call.

Yuk Enab is an ITB alumni, when Yuk Enab started studying at ITB, Abang Musa's brother from Ustadz Hanafi was already 5th semester. It was Moses' brother, who was given the duty by Haji Sofyan to supervise and guard Yuk Enab during college.

Mr. Malik Abdullah and Haji Sofyan, even planned to match their two children. But the plan did not work, because Brother Musa prefers Sandra who is a friend of his generation in ITB.

According to the story of Abang Musa, Sandra looks very jealous if she sees Yuk Enab coming to visit her lecture room to ask questions about subjects that are not understood.

Yuk Enab also often come to meet Abang Musa, while carrying souvenirs typical of Natuna Island.

And until now, if Brother Moses is seen eating anchovies, his wife's face looks a bit red with jealousy.

After completing ITB, Yuk Enab had worked at the Musi Corporation Charitable Foundation. One of his programs at the Foundation that is still running today is the distribution of packaged rice for the dhuafa.

But after Brother Musa married Sandra about 2 years ago, Yuk Enab resigned from his job.

The reason for Yuk Enab's resignation, because he wanted to concentrate on building his birthplace on Natuna Island.

The resignation of Yuk Enab, had made Mother Aisyah in order to take care of the Foundation, until finally getting a replacement, namely her own nephew, Nadia.

"Nafi... how's Habibie's Panji, healthy right?" asked Yuk Enab to ask about the situation of Ustadz Hanafi's nephew.

"Alhamdulillah Yuk is healthy, so is Abang Musa's family" replied Ustadz Hanafi.

"Ehh.. Nafi, Brother Musa is reportedly now continuing his studies to Germany huh?" ask Yuk Enab again.

"Yes Yuk, Abang Musa also brought his wife and the Habibie Banner there" said Ustadz Hanafi.

"So... Sandra's mom taking a sabbatical?" yuk Six asked Sandra the wife of Brother Moses.

"Mbak Sandranya has stopped being a PNS, he said he wants to focus on taking care of the Habibie Panji" replied Ustadz Hanafi explained.

"Ohh so.." said Yuk Enab while cleaning the paper on his desk.

Yuk Enab is currently busy preparing the establishment of an NGO on Natuna Island. The NGO (Institutional Self-Society) is planned to function to monitor the environmental impact due to excessive marine exploitation.

But Yuk Enab warned that in exploiting the wealth of the sea do not overdo it and still pay attention to environmental sustainability.

The Ship of Noah

In addition to being a guide, Malik, the only son of Haji Sofyan, became a discussion friend of Ustadz Hanafi while on Natuna Island.

Various topics of discussion that they talk about, from shipping technology problems, political situations to cultural issues.

Although Malik had dropped out of college, but he is the type of person who likes to read so his insight into various problems is very broad.

Ustadz Hanafi advised Malik to take courses at the Open University, as he did while taking his Bachelor of Economics.

It seems that Malik is very enthusiastic about receiving advice from Ustadz Hanafi, and he will soon be looking for what study program is suitable for him.

Starting from a conversation about the history of the development of shipping technology in Indonesia, the conversation then continued to discuss the Story of Noah's Ship.

"Ship of Noah, far more sophisticated than we imagined?" malik said during a discussion with Ustadz Hanafi.

"How do you mean?" tanya Ustadz Hanafi.

"Let's imagine the shape of Noah's ship based on the stories that circulated" Malik replied seriously.

"The ship of Noah is said to contain thousands or maybe even hundreds of thousands of pairs of animals. And these animals will become the ancestors of animals in the present" Malik continued.

"From here alone, we can conclude, that the ship is very large, maybe even can not be made again by humanity" Malik said again.

"It could have been that way, but it is necessary to remember that God can re-create various types of animals after the great flood" said Ustadz Hanafi.

"I agree with my brother, but even so the types of animals that exist now are not genetically newly emerged animals, but based on the process of evolution for hundreds of thousands of years" Malik revealed his theory.

"There is more we need to examine, how the temperature regulation technology in the ship. For example, camels that are in a hot region, of course, different ways of treating with penguins from cold regions" said Malik explained his theory.

"Not to mention for small animals such as ants, fleas, crickets, and others, it is necessary to prepare a special place. Because if they don't, they can be trampled by larger animals" Malik said next.

Ustadz Hanafi was silent, but what Malik said was true. Moreover, the length of the animals in the ship is quite long, not a day or two days. And of course requires a very sophisticated place arrangement.

"That's the new setting of the place, not to mention talking about the food warehouse needs what amount of space." Malik said again.

"Instead there is a story that says the water wave when it was like a mountain" said Malik while opening a note on his hand phone.

"Ships that face waves as high as a mountain, certainly designed very specifically. Let alone an ordinary wooden ship, the most sophisticated ship today will also not be strong against the brunt of such a powerful wave" said Malik at length.

"So what's the conclusion?" tanya Ustadz Hanafi began to be interested in the theory of malik.

"It is possible that by the time of Noah, human civilization had reached a very high level of science" Malik replied.

"Even probably, unimaginable to us now, waLlahu a’lamu bishshawab" Malik concluded his theory of Noah's ship.
