7 Portraits of Opick During Dawah in Ramadan, Focusing on Family and Strengthening Spirituality

"Alhamdulillah I keep traveling, Alhamdulillah Allah has given me time to meet with family, InsyaAllah," said Opick when met in the area of Jalan Kapten Tendean, Mampang, South Jakarta, Tuesday (11/3/2025).

The father of these five children explains that there are no special traditions observed during the month of Ramadan. For him, Ramadan is a month full of blessings, where he often spends time traveling or in the car due to his busy schedule.

"There’s nothing special, Ramadan is just usual, a lot on the road, a lot in the car," said Opick. Despite this, the person born as Aunur Rofiq Lil Firdaus realizes the importance of creating space to improve his relationship with God and his family.

He feels that the moment of Ramadan is the right time to get closer to the Creator. "Yes, maybe the worship needs to be increased, we are always on stage, but we also need to open space for the heart, space for thoughts, space for results, whatever that is, it needs to be opened," said the man known for one of his works, Dealova.

Regarding his activities during Ramadan, Opick does not prioritize between focusing on performances or engaging in spiritual activities. For him, the most important thing is to maximize everything that can be done for the greater good.  "I don't know, whatever comes, because I don't know what tomorrow or after this interview will be like," he said.

This man from Surabaya also emphasizes the importance of maintaining good relationships with others. He wants to ensure that every step taken does not hurt others and instead brings benefits to many parties.

"So maximize what you can, don't hurt people, don't injure others. If you can, be someone who is truly beneficial to many people or at least make sure people are safe from you," he said. In the midst of his busyness, Opick remains grateful for everything that Allah has given him, including the opportunity to continue creating and worshiping. /aal
