YOGYAKARTA - Ramadan 2025 is a valuable moment for several public figures who decide to embrace Islam. This big decision is certainly not something that is easy, but the result of a long journey in finding the meaning of life and inner peace. This year, several artists from various backgrounds finally firmly say two sentences of creed and officially become Muslim.
Interestingly, the celebrities who converted to Islam in Ramadan 2025 come from Chinese ethnicities and have different spiritual experiences. Some have studied Islam for years before finally making a decision, some feel they have received guidance in a short time. The following is the story of three artists who found their beliefs in this month of Ramadan.
Richard Lee, a famous beauty doctor and YouTuber, officially repeated the creed on March 5, 2025. Even though he has actually become a convert since two years ago, he feels the need to strengthen his faith. The procession of his creed this time was witnessed by two well-known Muslim figures, Ustadz Derry Sulaiman and Ustadz Felix Siauw.
In his statement to the media, Richard Lee revealed that his decision to embrace Islam stemmed from his inner anxiety. Despite having achieved success in the beauty business, he felt there was a void in his life.
"Initially, I felt that my goal in life was only the world. But after discussing a lot with Ustadz Derry Sulaiman, my perspective on God and life began to change," said Richard Lee.
His decision to become a Muslim is not something that happens overnight, but rather through an in-depth process in understanding Islam and finding peace in its teachings.
Chef Bobon Santoso is also one of the celebrities who converted to Islam in Ramadan 2025. The process took place at the An Ni 'mah Mosque, Cibubur, East Jakarta, with the guidance of Ustadz Derry Sulaiman.
Bobon actually knew Islam since childhood and felt close to his teachings. However, he never thought that the moment of his struggle occurred so quickly and beyond plans. In an interview on Denny Sumargo's "CURHAT BANG" podcast, Bobon revealed that the decision came suddenly.
"Entering Islam and saying shahadat was actually beyond my plan. If you say the percentage of my belief in converting to Islam was not 100 percent at that time. The original goal was just cooking, but going home was even a convert," he said.
Although initially not planned, he felt calm after saying the creed. Now, Bobon is starting to deepen Islamic teachings and live his life as a Muslim.
Unlike Bobon Santoso, comics and TikToker Steven Wongso have studied Islam for one year before finally becoming a convert. On March 23, 2025, he said two sentences of creed in front of his close friends, guided by Ustadz Felix Siauw.
The story of Steven's spiritual journey was revealed directly by Ustadz Felix through his personal Instagram account. According to him, Steven has been in contact with him since a year ago to discuss various things about Islam.
However, only in Ramadan 2025 did they meet directly and talk at length about life, love, and the inner anxiety they felt. Islam, for Steven, is the answer to all the balances and mental suffering he experiences.
"Ashar in 23 Ramadan, thank God Steven Wongso is determined to become a Muslim. He is chaotic in front of his close friends," said Ustadz Felix.
