Portrait of Mona Ratuliu Tells the Moments Before Her Father's Passing: Just Performed Ablution, Did Not Have Time to Pray Tahajud

Senior actor Albert Ratuliu, father of artist Mona Ratuliu, passed away at his home in Bekasi on Thursday (1/5/2025) early morning. A somber atmosphere enveloped the extended family, especially since Albert's passing occurred suddenly, just a few minutes after he prepared to perform the night prayer.

"If dad had experienced shortness of breath a few times in the past year, we went back and forth to the hospital, it has been quite intensive these last 3 months," Mona revealed after the funeral at Jeruk Purut Cemetery on Thursday (1/5/2025).

Mona explained that her father had shown signs of improvement before he ultimately took his last breath. On the morning before his passing, Albert was known to have woken up as usual to perform the tahajud prayer."In the early morning, dad was indeed used to praying at night, so he woke up to pray at 3 AM, then performed ablution, but before he could pray, he complained of dizziness and shortly after that, he was unconscious," Mona explained.

Unfortunately, the family did not have time to take Albert to the hospital. Immediate assistance was attempted by calling an ambulance and nearby health personnel.

"There was no time, we had already tried to call the ambulance, but it was too late. A neighbor who is a health worker came, checked, and shortly after, he was declared dead," Mona explained.

Indra Brasco, Albert's son-in-law, witnessed the last moments through a video call. According to him, Albert's condition was already showing signs of decline at that time."At 3 o'clock, Mona cried and I asked why, it turned out that dad was still breathing. At 3:50 he took his last breath," said Indra.

Although he passed away suddenly, the family feels grateful because Albert died in a pure state. This is a particular comfort for Mona."What I see in dad's happiness in life is worship. Thank God he passed away in a state of ablution," said Mona.
