When I visited Pak Hamka's house of birth in Padang, I marveled by the fact that he was born in a place so far away from everybody. Even now, to get to the house, tucked in a remote corner of Sumatra, you have to drive through winding roads that will lead you to a place so deep in the village, so far removed from civilisation. How can a person born in such a place become such a famous 'ulamak', only God knows. Allah Akbar.
