The famous Indonesian singer, Ahmad Dhani never scolded or scolded if his children did not perform obligatory prayers.
His youngest son, Ahmad Abdul Qodir Jaelani, 24, on the other hand told his father that he would be angry if they committed a trivial mistake such as not closing the air conditioner after use.
Abdul Qodir or Dul said, his father felt that he and his other siblings were adults and should be responsible for religious obligations.
“If you don’t turn off the light switch or the air conditioner before leaving the house, my father will get angry.
“But when it comes to prayer, father will not get angry or reprimand,” he said.
Dul shared that while appearing in a podcast session broadcast on YouTube.
However, Dul said, his mother, Maia Estianty, is very strict about religion and will get angry if they don’t pray.
In fact, Maia also emphasizes manners and always tells them to always maintain their behavior.
“My mother’s religion is very strict and even emphasizes on manners and the way we carry ourselves.
“Mother always reprimands or orders that if an older person comes to the house, they must meet and shake hands. Do not go out without asking permission,” he said.
For the record, Maia and Ahmad Dhani divorced in 2008 before the vocalist of the group Dewa 19 married Mulan Jameela.
In addition to Dul, Maia and Ahmad Dhani are also blessed with two more sons, Ahmad Al Ghazali, 27, and Ahmad El Jallaluddin Rumi, 25 years old.
Maia then married Irwan Mussry on October 29, 2018 at the Camii Mosque in Tokyo, Japan. – Agency
