Habib Jafar Takes Lessons from Vidi Aldiano, 'Remember Death' Becomes the Best Advice

The departure of Oxavia Aldiano or Vidi Aldiano to the embrace of God has brought deep sorrow to thousands of people, both those who attended the 40-day prayer in person and those who prayed through social media. Habib Jafar, who attended the event, assessed that this phenomenon reflects the charitable deeds left by the musician.

For Habib Jafar, the gathering of hundreds of people to pray, connect, and share a meal together is a form of goodness triggered by the late Vidi. Vidi's departure at the age of 35 serves as a reminder to everyone about the nature of life and death that cannot be predicted.

"Alhamdulillah, the late Vidi was able to bring together hundreds of people offline, and then thousands online to gather, connect, eat together, which is also a goodness, and pray for the late Vidi. And most importantly, it reminds us of death. That is the best advice for us from Vidi. The lesson for us from Vidi is to live as best as we can even when we are sick, and to pass away in the best state while always remembering death when we are alive," said Habib Jafar when met by KapanLagi at Nurul Hidayah Mosque, Tanah Kusir, South Jakarta, Saturday (18/4/2026).

The message about memento mori or remembering death becomes the main point drawn by Habib Jafar from the late Vidi. Vidi has taught society that even when someone is afflicted by physical suffering, the spirit to remain beneficial to others must not fade.

Vidi Aldiano is indeed known as a singer who remains productive in producing popular works despite undergoing medical treatment since 2019. This husband of Sheila Dara Aisha seems to show that physical limitations are not an excuse to stop smiling and providing positive energy to those around him.

"One thing that amazed me is to imagine someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, going through their days with the pain in their body, yet always smiling and making others smile as well. That is a tremendous strength; if it weren't for the captivating character and sincere heart, I think it would be hard to do that," said Habib Jafar praising the musician's resilience.

As a reminder, Vidi Aldiano took his last breath in Jakarta on March 7, 2026. The cause of his death was complications from metastatic kidney cancer that had reached an advanced stage. His six-year struggle against cancer has become an inspiration for many survivors of similar diseases.

Habib Jafar emphasized that Vidi passed away in a state of, God willing, husnul khatimah due to his sincerity in worship during the last moments of his life. He saw Vidi as someone who died in the best condition because he always strived for self-improvement even under the pressure of immense pain.

"The lesson for us from Vidi is to live our best lives even when we are sick, and to die in the best state by always remembering death while we are alive," he reiterated, emphasizing the life philosophy of the deceased that should be emulated by the younger generation.

The extended family of Vidi Aldiano, including his father Harry Kiss and mother Besbarini, is hoped to remain strong in facing this reality. Habib Jafar emphasized that the family's efforts to keep Vidi's spirit alive through various acts of kindness is the most appropriate way to remember the musician.
