Inara Rusli Speaks Out About Richard Lee Becoming a Convert

Kapanlagi.com - Inara Rusli, the ex-wife of Virgoun who is now known as the mother of three children, shared an interesting story about her colleague, Richard Lee, who decided to convert to Islam. The woman born on February 19, 1993, revealed what she knows about that significant decision.

"No, if it's about sharing stories, I don't accept sharing sessions, especially from the opposite sex," Inara said when asked if Richard Lee had ever shared his personal story directly with her, when met in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, on Saturday (8/3/2025).

However, Inara admitted that she had learned about Richard's conversion to Islam from a famous ustaz. According to her, Richard had made that decision a long time ago, although he chose to keep it a secret for a while.

1. Consider the Feelings of the Family

"Actually, at that time he had already told Ustaz Derry that he had converted to Islam, but it was still kept a secret," Inara revealed.

The decision not to immediately announce his status as a convert, Inara continued, may have been influenced by considerations for the feelings of Richard Lee's close family. This shows that Richard wanted to maintain the harmony of his family relationships during this process.

"Perhaps it was due to considerations for the feelings of his closest family, Brother Richard. So, we as his colleagues can only pray that Allah makes the process easy for him and helps him remain steadfast in learning Islam well," she said with full of prayers.

2. Also Grateful

As a colleague, Inara also expressed her gratitude for Richard's decision to now firmly live as a Muslim. According to her, converting to Islam is a spiritual process that requires mental and physical strength, just like performing Umrah and Hajj.

"Yes, Alhamdulillah, every year the number of pilgrims increases. This means that the practice of Umrah and Hajj is on the rise among the community, showing that Umrah and Hajj are not just for those who are financially able, but for those who are truly called by Allah," Inara explained.

3. Mental and Physical Readiness

She also emphasized that the worship not only requires financial readiness but also mental and physical readiness. This, according to her, is similar to the spiritual journey that Richard Lee may experience.
"And to consider himself capable not only financially but also mentally and physically," added Inara.

As a fellow Muslim, Inara hopes that Richard Lee will continue to be steadfast in living his new life. She is also confident that Richard's decision will bring much goodness, both for himself and for those around him.
