Situasi yang penuh dengan cabaran dan dugaan itu amat berkait berkait rapat dengan konsep-konsep akidah seperti iman terhadap qadak dan qadar, bencana sebagai ujian dan kefahaman tawakal. Untuk mengetahui tahap kefahaman warga pusat pemindahan terhadap isu-isu ini, satu kajian perintis kuantitatif berbentuk soal selidik telah dijalankan ke atas 18 orang. Pemilihan responden dibuat menggunakan kaedah persampelan mengikut kesenangan (convenience sampling). Dengan menjadikan daerah Temerloh dan Maran sebagai lokasi kajian, ketiga-tiga tema yang diuji menunjukkan nilai min yang tinggi, sekaligus memberi makna bahawa responden mempunyai tahap kefahaman akidah yang tinggi.
