Passed Away in Ramadan, Umi Pipik Believes Paradise Ar-Rayyan Awaits Vidi Aldiano

Kapanlagi.com - The departure of singer Vidi Aldiano in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan leaves a deep sorrow yet also good hope for those left behind. Umi Pipik Dian Irawati, a preacher and the wife of the late Ustaz Jefri Al Buchori, also expressed her condolences and views on the significance of passing away during the fasting month. According to her, there is a special promise of paradise for those who pass away at this noble moment.

Umi Pipik is convinced that Vidi Aldiano has obtained the best place beside Allah SWT. She mentioned Paradise Ar-Rayyan, which is designated for those who fast. Vidi's death coinciding with the night of Nuzulul Quran is seen as a good sign and honor for the deceased.

"Oh yes, masyaallah. Paradise Ar-Rayyan has been prepared by Allah. So Allah grants honor to the followers of the Prophet Muhammad, one of which Allah says for Paradise Ar-Rayyan is adorned every day. It is adorned for the servants of Allah who pass away in the month of Ramadan, especially while fasting, that is immediately eee their place in Paradise Ar-Rayyan," she said after visiting the mourning house and met by Kapanlagi in the Cilandak area, South Jakarta, Saturday (07/03/2026).

1. Sickness as a Purifier of Sins

Vidi, who has long fought against kidney cancer, also became the focus of Umi Pipik. She believes that the illness Vidi has suffered has served as a purifier of his sins in this world, allowing the deceased to return in a state of purity.

"And moreover, we know that Vidi has been sick for a long time, and masya Allah, he passed away in the month of Ramadan, during Nuzulul Quran. Just yesterday was Nuzulul Quran, and all his sins have been forgiven by Allah because his illness has become a purifier of sins, masya Allah," she added with deep emotion.

2. The Mourning House is Crowded with Visitors

Umi Pipik also described the atmosphere at the mourning house, which was filled with visitors. She even had to queue to enter and pray for the deceased, which she believes is proof that Vidi was a person who was very loved by many.

"Because so many people came to express their condolences, to pray. Earlier, I also had to queue to get in because it was full. The atmosphere inside... well, everyone must be sad, his wife, yes, Vidi's parents," Umi Pipik expressed.

3. Not Too Close

Although not personally very close, Umi Pipik has her own memories with Vidi. She recalls their last meeting in 2013, where they had a long conversation together with the late Ustaz Jefri Al Buchori during a television event.

"I may not know him personally well, but in 2014... oh, 2013, the last time I met him we talked together with the deceased. He was still alive at that time, both of us were at an event on one of the TV stations. We talked there, quite a long conversation," she reminisced.

4. RIP Vidi Aldiano

Umi Pipik's presence at the funeral home is not only a form of respect among Muslims but also moral support for the grieving family, especially Vidi's wife, Sheila Dara Aisha, and his parents.

May the bereaved family be granted patience. Rest in peace, Vidi Aldiano!
