JAKARTA - The COVID-19 pandemic is changing the lives of many people. Most of them feel depressed and lose economically. Even Ustaz Solmed went bankrupt because he could not move at all during the pandemic.

Ustaz Solmed explained the economic condition of his family, at the ASIA 2021 Action event in Indosiar. At that time, Solmed admitted that the Covid-19 pandemic also made his family's economy difficult. "This pandemic proves that we have also experienced passing tests and trials that many others have gone through," said Ustaz Solmed, on YouTube Indosiar, Tuesday (4/5/2021).

Solmed admitted that he even borrowed money from his wife, April Jasmine, in the midst of his family's economic difficulties. At that time, Solmed borrowed April's Rp200 thousand. "I had to borrow money from April for a Rp200 thousand case, I borrowed money during the pandemic," he said.

Not only that, for the medical needs of his beloved mother, Solmed also did not have a penny and returned to borrow from April. At that time, according to him, all the contents of his savings had been used up and were not left over.

"I borrowed Rp. 500 thousand just for medical expenses for my mother, which I no longer have any savings during this pandemic," he continued.

Then, said Solmed, if April had not allowed him to borrow the money, Solmed would not have the power to impose his wife's will.

But the opposite happened. April chose to give up all the contents of her savings for daily needs and also pay off debts.

"He (April) spent all his savings to support me so that I can survive in the midst of confusion, confusion, turmoil," he said.

Not only relying on April's money and savings alone, Ustaz Solmed admitted that he had sold out all his assets and personal belongings.

Recorded Details as Payable

Even worse, Solmed had to sell the used clothes he had used to his friends just to eat rice and make ends meet.

"I sold cars, people's bills came to the house, I went looking for food, I met my friends, I sold faceshiled, I sold sarongs, I brought used clothing merchandise. I don't know one Indonesia," he recalls.

Ramzi, who was then a host with Irfan Hakim, was surprised by the note on Ustaz Solmed's cellphone. The notes were in the form of all debts owed to April Jasmine, starting from the smallest to the total amount owed.

"April did not borrow, he said, 'Use all my savings to take'. But I said 'I will record this as a debt and I will never erase this history until I die, insha Allah," he said.

Fortunately, slowly Ustaz Solmed and April were able to overcome the economic problems that gripped their families. They too are now rearranging the things that made them crush and turn upside down.
