The news of Bobon Santoso converting to Islam surprised many, including his own wife. The process occurred spontaneously on March 10, 2025, at An-Nikmah Mosque, Citra Grand Cibubur. Ustaz Derry, who guided Bobon in reciting the shahada, shared the story behind the event.
"It was indeed spontaneous, his wife didn’t know. Bobon hadn’t informed his wife when she asked about it, but now she knows," said Ustaz Derry when contacted by the media via phone on Thursday (March 13, 2025).
