Ruben Onsu Reveals an Unexpected Moment During Eid, Was Confused About Who to Pray Ied With - Turned Out to Meet Ivan Gunawan

Ruben Onsu once again draws public attention after performing Eid al-Fitr prayers with Ivan Gunawan. The moment felt special as it was filled with closeness and a strong intention of worship from these two friends.

"First, we both started from scratch, and this is also just now getting highlighted, he just started now too," said Ruben Onsu when met in the Karang Tengah area, South Jakarta, on Friday (11/4/2025).

For some time now, Ruben has indeed been seen often worshiping together with Ivan Gunawan. Their togetherness is not just as close friends, but also supporting each other in their respective spiritual journeys. "Well, the second is, yes, he is a friend, the only ones who know that are him, me, and Habib (Habib Usman)," said Ruben.

For Ruben, Ivan's presence in his spiritual journey feels very meaningful. Although not many people know about this, Ivan is said to have played a significant role in understanding and respecting Ruben's personal process. "No one knows a thing, so he feels it, his heart feels it," he said.

Slowly but surely, Ruben began to understand that everything that happens is indeed timely. He also started to open himself up to Ivan's support while still maintaining his privacy. "Until finally, I feel that when everything is fixed, I don't need to think about it anymore, right? He said, 'I am one of the people who supports you,'" said Ruben.

Even so, Ruben chose not to share much at first. He just wanted to focus on his worship without pressure or questions about his personal decisions. "I just told him, 'I can't tell you yet, just give me time to focus on worship,'" he revealed.

Ivan understood Ruben's position and never pressed him with sensitive questions. For Ruben, this showed his friend's maturity in truly respecting his process. "He stopped asking me, 'Are you converting to Islam? Are you converting to Islam?'" said Ruben.

The moment of togetherness during the Idulfitri prayer was also not planned far in advance. Ruben wanted to go through the Idul Fitri prayer with someone who could accompany him calmly. Initially, he thought about praying Idul Fitri with Lesti and Rizky Billar.

"I kept thinking, who can I go with, and then there was a brother who helped me, 'Who am I praying with? Ah, I guess it will be with Lesti, but then there's Billar since Lesti is a girl, ah, it won't be together then," explained Ruben.

However, Ruben accidentally met Igun on the night of Takbir on an escalator in a mall. "On the night of Takbir, I met Igun, oh God, it was arranged that way, and then suddenly on the night of Takbir, I thought I would go to the mall, and I met Lesti. Well, when I was about to go up the escalator, I ran into Igun, can you believe that?" said Ruben.

Finally, the decision to pray together with Ivan was made spontaneously. Ruben felt that everything was going according to God's will and flowed naturally. "So yesterday I said, 'Hey, can I pray Idulfitri at your place?" he said with a laugh.

Although at first everything seemed unplanned, Ruben felt that the spiritual process he underwent during Ramadan was very meaningful. He also mentioned that he had been fasting throughout that holy month. "So everything has been set by God, and the process went smoothly during Ramadan; I participated in fasting, that's all," concluded Ruben.
