JAKARTA - Angelina Sondakh revealed the story of her hijrah during her detention. He also admitted that he converted to Islam because of his love for the late Adjie Massaid.

The woman who is familiarly called Angie explained that at that time she wanted to marry Adjie Massaid. Therefore, he chose to convert even though he had not fully studied Islam.

"I was converted before I married. It's also called love, right. I've never regretted it," said Angelina Sondakh on the Maia AlElDul channel.

"It's just that it doesn't come from the heart. The facts, yes, I love Mas Adjie, love Mas Adjie, I'm a convert to Islam," he said.

Angelina Sondakh followed Adjie Massaid's faith, starting with prayers and so on. But he revealed that his time in detention was a time in which he deepened his Islamic religion.

"Islam is Islam. Pray, Mas Adjie, pray, Imamin, I will join. When I got married, I became Muslim. Only when I really learned (Islam) was when I was arrested," said Angelina Sondakh.

"Although I didn't expect it to go down that fast. I only learned a week ago. So I'm a bit mentally shocked. The theory is a, b, c, d, this is the practice," he continued.

Angie was also grateful because Maia Estianty was one of the people who provided her with stories of the Prophet. He also met a hafizah in prison who made him understand religion even more.

"Just look at the prophets, Prophet Ibrahim and Siti Hajar. Prophet Ayub's son was taken, his property was taken, his wife was also given a disease, Prophet Yusuf was also not wrong to go to prison, Prophet Yunus too. I said, 'Maia is the prophet Mai, I am ordinary people,' said Angelina Sondakh.

"Just let it go, just let it go to the universe. Finally I learned that. When I fell, God didn't let me fall really bad," he said.
