The 19 year old girl announced she had decided to take off her hijab. He took this decision when the girl who is familiarly called Zara was studying in England.

Through her Instagram account, Zara expressed her decision to remove the hijab . Even though it was difficult for her, Zara admitted that she had made careful considerations. He has also discussed it with his family.

" Hi everyone, after much consideration and a very, very long discussion with my family, I have decided to remove my veil ," she wrote, quoted by brilio.net from the Instagram account @camilliazr, Monday (8/4).

This decision drew pros and cons from the public. Not a few people support Zara in finding her identity. However, quite a few also blasphemed the late Emmeril Kahn's younger brother Mumtadz.

However, as parents, both Atalia Praratya and Ridwan Kamil support their daughter. Atalia admitted that Zara had argued with her parents. However, both of them agreed that during Zara's journey to find her identity, she must study religion.

" The condition is that he is obliged to find out the depth of the religion that we hope for. He is increasingly finding out, studying again, deepening again, I just hope that he doesn't ask the wrong person ," said Atalia, quoted by brilio.net from TikTok @aroundbandung.com, Monday (8/4).

Likewise, Ridwan Kamil gave a touching message via video on his Instagram. Not directly referring to his youngest child, Ridwan instead wrote about the journey of a human who travels in search of his life's purpose.

" Every one of us, every soul is a traveler in life who is looking for answers to his life's purpose. He may find the answer at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of his journey ," said Ridwan Kamil.

During the journey, every human being will encounter many obstacles. Like being scolded, or finally returning to square one.

"On his journey he might hit rocks, be blown away by storm winds, be insulted by crowds or be thrown back to the starting point of his journey ," he said.

Ridwan closed his message with kind words. He wrote that the best thing is to wish the person a safe journey.

" The best thing is to pray for him to be safe on his journey. And to find the answer in the time and way that God determines ," he concluded.

The upload received comments from netizens. Even though he wrote a good message, the upload still reaped pros and cons from netizens.

" Actually, whether she wants to wear or take off the hijab is her business, but why is it wrong to post it with misleading assumptions, in fact it could inspire other people to take off the hijab too ," said @syilasky_.

" Because guidance cannot be inherited ," said @ihsan_elfaqih.

" Actually, Zara wants to take off the hijab, like a teenager in general who is looking for her identity, the difference is that Zara, Pak Ridwan Kamil's daughter, definitely has a lot of people against it too, just pray that one day she can wear the hijab again because she herself wants to ," said @nimas.andrianee .
