After returning from Palembang, Ustadz Hanafi was again busy in teaching and learning activities at Pondok Pesantren Al Mansyur Surabaya.
Kiai Ismail as the leader of Pondok, assigned Ustadz Hanafi to be the coordinator of the committee celebrating 100 years of Indonesian independence.
It should be understood, the celebration of Indonesia's independence day on August 17, 2045, is only about 2 days after the Eid Al-Fitr Festival.
Restricted to a time that was only a few days away, Ustadz Hanafi moved quickly. The first step is to coordinate the santri decorate the cottage with various knickknacks symbol independence day.
In some corners of the pesantren, a banner was installed that read "DIRGAHAYU 100 YEARS OF INDONESIAN INDEPENDENCE, 1945-2045", with various lights and colorful paper decorations installed around it.
At the pesantren gate also installed a banner with a large size, which contained not only writing but also photos of some ustadz and pesantren cottage administrators.
Ustadz Hanafi also formed a competition committee to welcome 100 years of Indonesian independence. Various competitions are competed in the event, including speech competitions, smart meticulous, adhan, sack racing, eating crackers to chess matches between classes.
There is one special race made by the celebration committee this year, namely the competition to write a short story with the theme of 100 years of Indonesian Independence.
Especially for this short story competition, Ustadz Hanafi personally prepared a special gift in the form of a certain amount of money coming from his personal pocket.

The Face of Indonesia 2045
At the age of independence 100, Indonesia has stepped into a developed country, with a population of 320 million people.
The progress of the Indonesian nation at that time was due to its ability to utilize the maximum results of natural wealth.
In every corner of the city to the corners of the village, the community uses electrical energy sourced from solar power. Likewise for vehicles (transportation) both on land, sea and air mostly utilize solar energy.
At that time, for short-range transportation, the Indonesian people preferred to use a mini aircraft with 4 passengers including the pilot.
Mini airplanes that can also function as these cars, should only be operated by airlines and how to order them can be done online.
In addition to having abundant solar energy sources because it is a hot (tropical) area, Indonesia at that time was the world's food barn.
Since the last 10 years of agricultural revolution, the development of agricultural products in Indonesia has been very rapid. The quality of food products from Indonesia is also very good, making Indonesian agricultural products the main choice of other nations in the world.
In addition to agricultural and plantation products, Indonesia also relies on livestock and marine products (fisheries) as its food source.
The Education System at that time was more directed to the field of agro-industry, such as agriculture, plantations and fisheries. A high school graduate student or Aliyah level, usually already has basic skills in the field of Agroindustry.
Most high school graduates, who come from rural areas, prefer to continue to Agroindustrial Higher Education rather than enter the University.
Being a farmer at that time was a proud profession. The income they earn is also quite high.
Farmers at that time had used advanced technology, both in terms of agricultural aids such as tractors and the use of fertilizers and plant seeds.
Marketing agricultural products can also be directly to consumers through online media, so do not have to go through middlemen again as in the past.
The use of digital money has become a culture for the people of Indonesia. Almost all sectors already use it, be it to pay electricity bills, water bills, tuition and so forth.
Even some merchants in the market only want to accept payments digitally, considering that at that time counterfeiting paper money was very sophisticated.
The establishment of multi-storey buildings in Indonesia must pay attention to the impact on the environment. If anyone violates, the building will be demolished.
And not surprisingly, the existing buildings are overgrown with various green plants around it. Even some building developers there are making some kind of artificial river, with advanced water filtration technology.
And most importantly at that time, the certainty of the law was really enforced. Those convicted of corruption of state money will be punished severely.
Identity records of citizens are also very accurate. So that those who commit acts of fraud will be very easy to recognize.
The perpetrators of the crime are very difficult to operate because surveillance cameras (cctvs) can almost be found on all street corners.
In the case of security personnel, in addition to coming from the police, at that time security in an area was also carried out by the Sikal Task Force.
Satgas Sikal stands for Local Civil Task Force which gets special training in securing a region. Sikal Task Force is financed by local residents and also get salaries from the government.
But Indonesia's progress at that time was not without gaps, one of the dangers that always lurk is natural disasters, either from mountain eruptions or in the form of sea waves (tsunami).
Regarding the threat of natural disasters, Ustadz Hanafi had a discussion with one of the santri guardians who happened to be members of the National Disaster Task Force.
"Pak Hendri... if you may know, how big is the threat of volcanic eruptions for the people of Indonesia?" tanya Ustadz Hanafi to a santri guardian who works as a Natural Disaster Task Force.
"If the threat of volcanoes, it may be said that the threat is very large ustadz" replied the mayor.
Then the guardian santri named Hendri, tried to parse in more detail the state of the volcano in Indonesia.
"Geographically Indonesia is an island country whose position lies at the confluence of 3 large tectonic plates, namely the Indo-Australian plate, Eurasia and the Pacific plate."
"This is what makes it very potential and disaster-prone" said Mr. Hendri continued.
"In such conditions, what kind of natural bencas can happen?" tanya Ustadz Hanafi.
"There are several types of disasters, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and landslides" said Mr Hendri explained.
"Even according to the international agency of the United Nations (UN), Indonesia is the most vulnerable country in the world of natural disasters, especially volcanic eruptions" said Mr. Hendri added.
Mr. Hendri then, staring at his cellphone hand, occasionally his hand moved on the screen like he was looking for data.
"Based on existing data, about 90 percent of the risk of volcanic disasters is concentrated in five countries. Indonesia ranks first with a potential of 66 percent, then the Philippines 10.6 percent, Japan 6.9 percent, Mexico 3.9 percent and Ethiopia 3.9 percent" replied Pak Hendri at length.
"Well, that's very high!" ustadz Hanafi was shocked.
"Yes, the position of Indonesia seems to be surrounded, where in the southern and eastern parts of Indonesia there is a volcanic belt. Its existence extends from Sumatra Island, Java, Nusa Tenggara, to Sulawesi" said Pak Hendri explained.
"But we should be grateful, our technology in predicting the occurrence of natural disasters at the time is now very advanced, and this can reduce the risk of casualties in the event of a volcanic eruption" said Mr. Hendri calming.
