JAKARTA - Shireen Sungkar and Teuku Wisnu deliberately did not join the group of their brothers, Zaskia Sungkar and Irwansyah who went on a pilgrimage this year. He said there was a reason behind his decision.

The reason is, Shireen and her husband had performed the pilgrimage last year, so now it is the turn of their brothers to leave. This strategy was carried out so that they can take turns entrusting their children when going on a pilgrimage.

"If everyone goes, who are the children on guard? Last year, thank God I left with God's permission, my children and Kia and Sis Irwan took care of it. Because at that time, Mom was still in the Netherlands, dad was also unwell," said Shireen Sungkar when met at Mega Kuningan, Saturday, June 24.

"So, last year was the one who took care of God, but the point was to help look at it, to invite those streets to Kia and Irwan. This year Allah gave them the opportunity. Yes, it turned out to be a turn," he continued.

Shireen said that his departure last year and his brother this year for the pilgrimage was well regulated by God. He is happy, now Zaskia and Irwan have also gone to the holy land to carry out the pilgrimage.

"Yes, all of God's way, yes. That means, who doesn't want (to ride the hajj), everyone also wants, everything that governs Allah too. So, there is nothing wrong with our struggle if it is not Allah who gives way," he said.

The mother of three also likes to be trusted to take care of her nephew. With the help of her mother, Fanny Bauty, Shireen finds it easy to take care of more children at home.

"It's fun, but there's mom too. So mom really helps take care of Ukkasya (Zakia and Irwansyah's son) too. It's really nice to be trusted to take care of it," said Shireen Sungkar.
