Dream - The journey of a non-Muslim becoming a Muslim has various ways. Some migrate after having dreams, visions, spiritual experiences, and so on. However, the story of the convert mother of Crazy Rich Surabaya starts from watching Islamic programs on television.

The journey of a woman named Elly Setianingsih's migration is revealed in the podcast 'Log In' with Habib Ja'far and Onad on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel. Mama Elly revealed that she went through a difficult period after her husband left without any news. She had to support four children on her own. To survive, she had to sell various household items and her favorite clothes.

"(On television) the story used to be that at night there must be someone who performs tahajud prayer. They also cry while wearing white (mukena). Then I thought that Muslims must clean themselves before praying, regardless of the type of prayer. We perform ablution," said Mama Elly. She felt amazed because before praying, Muslims gargle to cleanse themselves from bad words."

Without much consideration, Mama Elly dared to go to the mosque which happened to be next to her house. There, she immediately expressed her desire to convert to Islam. However, at that time the mosque administrators did not immediately agree with her. They asked Mama Elly for the reason she wanted to convert. The mosque administrators also asked Mama Elly to think more maturely.

After secretly converting to Islam, Mama Elly was caught by her son, Andy Sugar, who was still in 4th grade at the time. The incident began when a hijab and prayer mat arrived at their house. "We used to go to church together. And then we received a hijab. But in our family, my sister couldn't have done it because she is very religious. So, the only suspect is my mom," said Andy Sugar.

"Even more joyful, the umrah journey was a gift from her youngest child, Andy Sugar. 'Perhaps it is a guidance, and then to top it off, receiving the gift of umrah from Andy. That happiness is truly priceless.' Like a dream, especially when Mama saw the Kaaba there. All the desires of Muslims to touch the Kaaba and touch the Black Stone,' said Mama Elly while shedding tears."

Although firmly adhering to the Islamic religion, Mama Elly is reluctant to impose her children to follow her beliefs and convert to Islam. She believes that her children are old enough to think and make their own decisions regarding religion.
