Vidi also admitted that he only understood the religion he adheres to in 2019.
"That doesn't mean I'm like Uncle Deddy, a convert. Many people think I'm not Muslim. When we last chatted, they thought I only started Islam in 2019. That's not what I mean, it's just a god. As for Islam, it's true that the label is 2019. It's like new absorb it," said Vidi Aldiano, quoted by brilio.net on Sunday (17/3).
The owner of the real name Oxavia Aldiano previously studied various beliefs because he studied abroad. At that time, he also met people with various beliefs, such as beliefs with great powers other than God.
"From the time I was in college, I studied in Jakarta and then I went abroad. Overseas, I found out more about religion, you know. There I met people with various beliefs, not only God, but for example "I believe in great power. It's like being an agnostic, not believing in the existence of one God," he explained.

However, when Vidi read books about various religions, he felt far from Islam. He admitted that he only fulfilled his ego and logic, but did not fulfill his heart. For a long time, he admitted that he had become an agnostic.
"For the longest time, I was even an agnostic. It was difficult to be able to believe in a belief or religion that I was told about since I was little, but I didn't understand it in my heart. And finally the first day I felt like I could connect with my God, that was when I was sick ," he continued.
When he was first diagnosed with cancer, Sheila Dara's husband experienced various extraordinary experiences. Until one moment he finally trusted God again when he was in Singapore to undergo kidney removal surgery.
"And finally the gong, the connection that I felt from the beginning until I was here, and I really believe that now is when I'm in Singapore. The next day I had an operation to remove my kidney, I prayed, I was confused, I haven't communicated for a long time "In the Islamic way, I continue to need it, because I don't know anymore," he explained.
Vidi admits that all this time, he has always pursued worldly pursuits. But with all the success he achieved, he did not feel happy. On the contrary, Vidi Aldiano felt his heart was empty.
"Do you know, your world is collapsing, for the longest time you only seem to know that there is higher power but don't fill your heart, you chase the world, you chase wealth, until finally you get a lot of worldly points in your life. But, you don't "Have you ever felt satisfied, you don't feel happy. You're not happy, you know, empty. So you already have so much, all kinds of worldly things, but you're not happy," he added.

Vidi considers the worldly possessions he now has to be a source of happiness. However, it turned out to be wrong. Vidi actually doesn't feel happy with what he has because he feels empty.
"Everything I thought I had to pursue, it was all useless having so much money, having such property, having such assets, when I got a disease that felt like at that time it was the most vicious disease in my life. There was no point in that, 10 years, 12 "I've been working for years, what's the point if I'm not healthy and enjoying it all," he said.
When he was really down because of his illness. At that time, Vidi had no one because he was not close to his family and friends. In fact, at that time he did not have a girlfriend. So Vidi decided to pray for the first time in a long time.
"Finally I decided that at that time I prayed, I prayed Asr prayer at that time. And I really wanted to communicate with the universe. Please help me what does this journey mean. And I prayed and I prayed and I didn't understand the meaning of the reading, but I prayed with reading very slowly," he explained.

In the middle of worship, Vidi cried. The reason is, at that moment he felt like he was complaining about a person who had been away from him for a long time. He also felt abundant love, his heart felt comfortable, safe and calm.
"And in the middle of the prayer, I cried alone in the hotel room. I cried, and still remember the first time I was able to confide in someone who I hadn't talked to or chatted with for a long time, but immediately there was a lot of love that entered my heart. , who at first weren't happy but felt calm, safe, comfortable and hugged," he said.
Vidi felt something warm in his heart. This was the first time Vidi felt an extraordinary feeling in the midst of a difficult moment. Moreover, at that time Vidi Aldiano was about to undergo surgery.
"I'm very, very grateful, in fact, given the disease and given that moment because if not, I wouldn't have had a connection and until now, thank God, I feel enough," his mother said.
While praying, Vidi admitted that he did not ask God for healing. He actually said thank you for getting a connection with God.
"And I just asked to make it easier, because I already felt that at that time I didn't know whether I would survive or not. So I felt like I was just making things easier for the people around me, I didn't care who I was at that time," he said.
