Mount Merapi - 2.968 m (9,738 ft), Gunung Merapi in Indonesian language, is a conical volcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. Its name means Mountain of Fire. It is very close to the city of Yogyakarta, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1700 m above sea level.

Although smoke can be seen emerging from the mountain top at least 300 days a year, several eruptions have caused fatalities. Hot gas from a large explosion killed 43 people in 1994, mostly in the town of Muntilan, west of the volcano. Another large eruption occurred in 2006, shortly before the Yogyakarta earthquake. In light of the hazards that Merapi poses to populated areas, it has been designated as one of the Decade Volcanoes.

  • Mudah-mudahan ini namanya ujian,dan bukan azab dari Allah subhanahu wata'ala Dan diri kita yang masih hidup bisa introspeksi diri tentang bagaimana sebenarnya Ibadah yang Benar,yang sesuai dengan ajaran yang diajarkan oleh Rasulullah. Bukan Ibadah Yang Tidak Ada tuntunannya,yang bisa kita sebut Bid'ah.Karena Bid'ah termasuk dosa Besar........!!!!!!!!
