Rizal Armada Graciously Accepts the Loss of His Little Daughter, Remains Grateful

Kapanlagi.com - Losing a child is certainly a very heavy test for every parent, including Rizal Armada. However, this uniquely-voiced vocalist has a very soothing perspective in facing such a disaster. Rizal admits he has accepted it and sees the departure of his daughter as a special gift from God.

In his belief, Rizal is convinced that a child who dies before reaching puberty will be a helper for their parents in the afterlife. This is what keeps him strong and able to smile even though tears of sadness cannot be completely hidden. For him, his daughter is now in the best place he calls "basecamp".

"No one is not sad; everyone is sad. But we believe this is a gift. Because in Muslim belief, children who die in a pure state go to heaven, which becomes a ticket to heaven for both parents." So if you say sad, yes sad, hit hard, yes hit hard, cry, yes cry. But we are like people who hit the jackpot, how is it, Mas? The crying is actually happy crying," said Rizal Armada at TPU Jombang, South Tangerang, Friday (23/1/2026).
