JAKARTA - Dian Sastro's spiritual journey turned out to be very beautiful. In Daniel Mananta Network's YouTube, Dian Sastro tells of her journey to become a Muslim. To decide to become a convert, Dian studied many religions first.
Growing up in a multi-religious family, Dian studied all religions first before deciding to convert. Dian's father is a Muslim who converted to Buddhism, while her mother is a Catholic.
"I was once a spiritual tourist. So I studied many religions and sects. And I am very interested in it. Because I also grew up as a Catholic as a mother," said Dian Sastro on the Daniel Mananta Network YouTube account, quoted on Tuesday, May 4.
Entering the age of 17, Dian felt the need to strengthen her heart for one choice. "A very devout Catholic mother, for her prayer is very strong. A Buddha's back. And I at the age of 17 had wanted to look for it. At the same time I became interested in philosophy," he continued.
After studying many religions, Dian finally felt comfortable with Islam. "I felt like I wanted to have the freedom to search and find, like my father had time to search and meet in Buddha. That's why looking around, chatting back and forth. And finally I met him in Islam," said Dian Sastro.
Luckily, her mother was very wise when she learned about Dian Sastro's desire to convert. Even her mother asked Dian Sastro to live her faith as well as possible.
"I am very grateful that my mother also has an open and supportive mind. Still, the important thing is to be obedient and not be like people. My path is different and that's personal for me. You can see that," explained Dian Sastro.
After converting to Islam, Dian Sastro did not want to do it halfway. She was determined to complete the Quran before she married. After khatam, Dian felt emotional.
"That I can and is very emotional. My mother also cried even though she is Catholic. But she is proud of my own spiritual achievements," said Dian Sastro.
