Jakarta –
Deddy Corbuzier has been a convert for two years. Before embracing Islam, Deddy received many stories about Islam from his friends, Mother.
Not long ago, he talked about a foreign friend from America who happened to have lived in his house. While in Indonesia, his friend learned about Islam which he considered bad, Bunda.
“I have a foreign friend, he stayed at my house for a full month, a foreigner handsome guy. That was before converting,” said Deddy, quoted from YouTube Light for Indonesia, Thursday (15/4/2021).
Once upon a time, Deddy’s foreign friend went to buy chicken porridge alone. While on the road, he met a Muslim family.
Deddy’s friend suddenly became silent and moved. He thought badly that he would be shot or bombed by the family.
“He went looking for porridge alone, he went home, he told me, again when a car suddenly stopped opening the glass, there was one hijab woman, and men in Muslim clothes. ‘Hey sir sir’, when the glass was opened, my friend’s brain was ‘dead if I didn’t get shot, I bombed it’, because he mostly watched those films. He couldn’t run, he was just stunned, “said Deddy.
The man dressed in Muslim then got out of the car and approached Deddy’s friend, Bunda. The man turned out not to want to commit a crime, but instead asked for a photo with Deddy’s foreign friend.
“The boy got out of the car and said, ‘My son said you were like a movie star in America, can my son take a picture together.’ Finally, the family took a photo together, “said Deddy.
When he returned to Deddy’s house, this foreign friend admitted he was surprised by what happened to him. So far, he and his friends in America have always thought that Islam is synonymous with bombs.
“He came home and said that my friends don’t know about it in America, because what is in their brains if a foreigner is stopping a car with a Muslim, it must be a bomb,” said the father of one child.
Deddy said that this story made him think again about Islam. According to him, many negative stories are circulating because the positive side is not told to many people.
Since deciding so convert, Deddy admitted that he had experienced changes. What are these changes?
