JAKARTA - Roger Danuarta decided to change his faith on October 29, 2018. The news of Roger becoming a convert to Islam began with videos circulating on social media. In the video, he is seen saying two sentences of the creed.

It was rumored that Roger Danuarta had changed religions because of Cut Meyriska because at that time they were planning a wedding. But the news was denied by Roger. Cut Meyriska herself admitted that she did not know that Roger Danuarta would become a convert. So that he immediately had the prejudice that he would be mocked.

"Because all of a sudden. He was shooting me and my friend to Singapore at that time. No news, I just played again in Singapore, hehe. Move on faster. I want to be separated, it's okay to just play. It turns out that he wants it (to convert to Islam) and thinks maybe, "said Cut Meyriska on the Ussy Andhika Official YouTube channel uploaded on Tuesday, February 23.

Apparently, Roger decided to convert without telling Cut Meyriska. He chose to avoid communication in order to solidify his heart.

"Yesterday I didn't communicate because I really believed in myself, is this what I want? Is this what I'm looking for? Yes, it's like convincing myself to find out, right? In the end I'm sure this is what I want," said Roger. Danuarta.

Roger Danuarta admitted that he had asked permission from his immediate family before converting. "I also asked my mother, with my brothers, I asked. And all of them, 'it's up to you' because religion is a personal matter with God. Only from the mother said, 'if it is true that you want to change (religion) you should live the right way' "Learn to read the Koran, continue to pray the right way," he continued.

Reason for Converting

Andhika Pratama questioned the reason why Roger Danuarta changed his faith. "What was the trigger at that time? When you felt empty ?," Andhika Pratama asked again.

"Yes, I guess, you could say that," said Roger Danuarta.

After converting, Roger claimed to be more peaceful. "What is certain is that it might make me feel good. Actually, whatever, like my previous or current religion," replied Roger Danuarta.

"The way I view religion now, I really believe that it is my personal matter with God. Then what I feel can make me even better," said Roger Danuarta.
