Putra Hamdan ATT Tells About His Father's Last Condition Before Passing Away

Haikal said that his father experienced shortness of breath and his body felt cold before taking his last breath. He described this condition as a sign of a drastic decline in health."He was said to be short of breath, and his body was cold," he revealed.

Although he could no longer speak, Hamdan ATT was said to still show expressions through his eyes when invited to communicate. Haikal referred to that moment as their last communication. "If there was communication, yes, but he hasn't been able to talk for a long time. But we communicated through our eyes; when we told stories that might have touched Abah, tears would come out," he said.

Just before his passing, Haikal tried to engage his father in conversation. He felt his father had responded with a touching glance."Even before he died, I had a chance to talk to him. He glanced at me with his eyes," said Haikal.

Haikal emphasized that he had no premonition of losing his father. However, when he received a call from his younger sibling, he already felt uneasy."If there was a premonition, there wasn't any, but when my brother called, I felt uncomfortable. Because he called while crying," he said.

On that occasion, Haikal also explained that his father's works will be preserved by the family. However, he admitted that no one has specifically taken over Hamdan ATT's career in the music world."As for the works so far, we help manage the copyright, everyone helps manage it. But to continue my father's career, not yet," said Haikal.

Regarding the issue of royalties, Haikal acknowledged that his family had experienced difficulties. He even participated in a solidarity action on behalf of the deceased."Including me, I also represented, asked permission from my mom to join the action actually. I represented. That’s one of them. If all the details for mechanical rights, all of that. As for performing rights, I represented at AKSI," he said.

At the end of the interview, Haikal represented the extended family to convey a request for prayers and forgiveness for his father. He hopes that Hamdan ATT finds the best place by His side."To all the fans of the late father Hamdan ATT, I, on behalf of the family, ask for your prayers. May the late be forgiven for all his sins, and may his suffering yesterday be a means of expiating sins, and may all his acts of worship be accepted. And I also, on behalf of my family, ask for forgiveness if the late made any mistakes, whether intentional or not. Please forgive him," he concluded.
