The Story of Doctor Tirta Deciding to Convert to Islam at the Age of 23, There is a Reason Touching on Parents

Dream - Dokter Tirta made a big decision in his life in 2013. The owner of the real name Tirta Mandira Hudhi decided to become a Muslim or convert when he was just 23 years old.

"Yes, it's true (converted) in 2013 because I followed my father (Islam), my mother is Catholic. So I was Catholic until the age of 22 and I have been Muslim since 23 until now," said Dr. Tirta quoted by Dream from YouTube HAS Creative, Monday, June 3, 2024.

"Before becoming a Muslim, this man originally from Solo, Central Java, said that he was already accustomed to the life of Muslims. In addition to his Muslim father, Dr. Tirta also socialized with many Muslims around his house."

"The trigger at that time, if I'm not mistaken, was because we are more familiar with many things around us. I often hang out with my friends near Al-Fajru Mosque, but on Sundays, I attend Sunday School at St. Antonius Purbayan Church. Because our tolerance is high, we understand each other,""

Besides the environment and friendships, another reason that made this father of two children convert to Islam is when he read a broadcast on his blackberry mobile phone that was popular in his time. In the message, the 32-year-old man read that his father would have difficulty entering heaven if his child is not a Muslim.

After reading the broadcast message, Dr. Tirta felt sorry for his father who still clung to his belief as a Muslim. He also felt that he had been accompanying his mother for 22 years by becoming a Catholic follower. In his mind, he briefly thought about changing his belief to accompany his father. "At that time, I was not yet a Muslim, and I kept thinking about how much my father had sacrificed," he said.

After that thought emerged, Dr. Tirta first consulted with several scholars about the process of becoming a convert. It didn't take long, Dr. Tirta, who consulted in the morning, immediately decided to embrace Islam in the evening.

"Consult with the kyai (Islamic religious leaders), meet with Kyai Zumroni at his mosque in Monjali, convert to Islam by reciting the shahada that same afternoon. Yes (I want my father to enter heaven), that's what I thought at that time. And at that moment, I said it just to be fair. Half of my life in Catholicism, half of my life in Islam."
