He did not want to mention his name, also where he works. He just answered his kind of job: fixing phones and computers. When the committee asked the required identity of the donor as an administration necessity, he replied; simply write 'servant of God'.

The servant of God, almost in every major flooding in Jakarta always prepared 100 packs of rice per day for the refugees. His wife prepared it herself. Before lunch or dinner, the father of two children returns home. By driving his motorcycle, he and his wife then delivered the food to the refugee camps. Preceded by a private survey, he directed rice wrap to the needed refugee. Toward refugee camps which are rarely touched by humanitarian aid agencies.

The above spousal is just an example of the servants of God who appears when needed, such as the nowadays Jakarta's flooding. They moved to help sisters and brothers and no strings attached. Sincere. Silent. They directly help the refugees without discriminating religious, ethnic, class, and party. To help is helping, full stop, no other frills.

The servants of God who have high solidarity were also seen for example in Flood Evacuation Locations in Attahiriyah Mosque, Kampung Melayu, Tebet, South Jakarta. Community on the banks of the Ciliwung River seems to already know in the case of flooding they should take refuge in Attahiriyah Mosque. Usually when great flood arrived and the house began submerged, they immediately fled.

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّ اَرِنِيْ كَيْفَ تُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰىۗ قَالَ اَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ ۗقَالَ بَلٰى وَلٰكِنْ لِّيَطْمَىِٕنَّ قَلْبِيْ ۗقَالَ فَخُذْ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِفَصُرْهُنَّ اِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلٰى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِيْنَكَ سَعْيًا ۗوَاعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌحَكِيْمٌ ࣖ
Dan (ingatlah) ketika Ibrahim berkata, “Ya Tuhanku, perlihatkanlah kepadaku bagaimana Engkau menghidupkan orang mati.” Allah berfirman, “Belum percayakah engkau?” Dia (Ibrahim) menjawab, “Aku percaya, tetapi agar hatiku tenang (mantap).” Dia (Allah) berfirman, “Kalau begitu ambillah empat ekor burung, lalu cincanglah olehmu kemudian letakkan di atas masing-masing bukit satu bagian, kemudian panggillah mereka, niscaya mereka datang kepadamu dengan segera.” Ketahuilah bahwa Allah Mahaperkasa, Mahabijaksana.

(QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 260)
