REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA --- A fire struck a densely populated residential area in Matraman, East Jakarta, Jakarta, early Thursday. Apart from burning rented houses, fires also caused casualties.

As many as 10 people died due to the intense fire in the densely populated settlement Jl. Pisangan Baru III RT. 06/10, Matraman, East Jakarta.

"The object that caught fire was a five-door rented house," said East Jakarta Fire Management Officer Gatot Sulaeman.

Gatot said the fire report was received at 04.50 WIB. He immediately fielded 14 units of fire engines to extinguish the fire.

Gatot explained that the cause of the fire was thought to have come from an electrical short circuit.

Based on information from residents at the location, it was stated that the fire was getting bigger. "The witness saw that the fire was already burning big, then, the victims were suspected of being trapped while trying to get out to save themselves, along with their children and wives," said Gatot Sulaeman.

۞ وَلَقَدْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِيْثَاقَ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَۚ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيْبًاۗ وَقَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ ۗ لَىِٕنْ اَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَيْتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَاٰمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِيْ وَعَزَّرْتُمُوْهُمْ وَاَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَّاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَلَاُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۚ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاۤءَ السَّبِيْلِ
Dan sungguh, Allah telah mengambil perjanjian dari Bani Israil dan Kami telah mengangkat dua belas orang pemimpin di antara mereka. Dan Allah berfirman, “Aku bersamamu.” Sungguh, jika kamu melaksanakan salat dan menunaikan zakat serta beriman kepada rasul-rasul-Ku dan kamu bantu mereka dan kamu pinjamkan kepada Allah pinjaman yang baik, pasti akan Aku hapus kesalahan-kesalahanmu, dan pasti akan Aku masukkan ke dalam surga yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai. Tetapi barangsiapa kafir di antaramu setelah itu, maka sesungguhnya dia telah tersesat dari jalan yang lurus.”

(QS. Al-Ma'idah ayat 12)
