The prayer house he built was burned down and he died along with several people who were praying there. One of those who died was the mother of Udin, the wife of Marwan.

Several years later, Ustaz Firdaus arrives at the village with the intention of following in the footsteps of his father, Ustaz Yusof. Ustaz Firdaus keeps it secret that he is the son of Ustaz Yusof because he already knows that his efforts may also fail.
