Brilio.net - Pipik Dian Irawati or often called Ummi Pipik recently told of her journey when she decided to cover herself more with a veil. This decision not only changed his appearance, but also had a significant impact on his existing job opportunities. Due to these consequences, Umi Pipik had to struggle to earn an income. Moreover, he has the responsibility to pay for the education of his children who will enter Islamic boarding school.
Reported by brilio.net , Thursday (21/3) in the Morning Morning Ambyar program on Trans TV, Ummi Pipik shared the story of her spiritual journey and how she tried to become a person more liked by God. However, he had to face quite a tough test because of his appearance. The reason is, a lot of work was canceled, starting from TV to the recitation schedule which had previously been agreed upon before Umi Pipik's decision to wear the veil.
"So when I decided to wear the veil, the schedule was actually already full because it was the month of Ramadan, right, but as soon as I wore the veil, I immediately changed it. The mosque schedules were finally all canceled because maybe they still thought the veil was that extreme," said Umi Pipik, quoted from YouTube Trans TV Official, Thursday (21/3).
This makes the wife of the late Ustaz Jeffry Al-Bukhory stay at home more. However, this is not because he already has a secure job at home, because he is also experiencing dwindling savings even though he has to pay for his four children to go to school. At that moment, he could only scream and cry for help from Allah without wanting to tell anyone about his condition. Apart from that, Ummi Pipik, like other parents, always wants to do the best for her child even in difficult circumstances.
Even though she had decided to emigrate using a veil, Ummi Pipik had doubts about her decision. He was faced with tests that almost made him give up. Not only did he cry and ask Allah for help, he also asked Allah questions in his prayer with a heart filled with doubt.
"Oh Allah, really, yes, I have moved. I really want to be good in the eyes of Allah, not in the eyes of humans," said Umi Pipik.

At that moment, he experienced a significant economic decline for one month. In fact, Ummi Pipik once thought about taking off her veil so she could get the job she had lost amidst her indecision. Even though Abidzar and Adiba could help him, he didn't want to bother his siblings and didn't want to complain to the children.
However, thanks to Ummi Pipik's determination and faith, she finally received an offer from a Bandung skincare brand. Abidzar's mother was appointed to be the brand ambassador for this product and used the name Ummi Pipik as the brand name. Not only was she given sustenance according to her needs, Umi Pipik was given three times more sustenance.
"At that time suddenly there was a beauty doctor from Bandung who had skincare. Ummi offered me to work with Ummi to be her BA, that was in 2018," explained Umi Pipik.
"I was shocked, at that time I should have needed that much money, but Allah replaced it three times as much. There I bowed down in gratitude, God is really good," he added when telling the story.
