Suara.com – Being a single mother and having to raise four children after the death of Ustaz Jefri Al Buchori was a very difficult struggle for Umi Pipik.
The owner of the name Pipik Dian Irawati even faced a moment where she did not get a work contract at all. “I haven’t had any work for a month, I don’t want to use the TV anymore,” said Umi Pipik in front of Meisya Siregar, quoted on Monday (25/12/2023).
Even though there are many responsibilities that Umi Pipik has to pay off in order to raise Adiba Khanza and her younger siblings, for example school fees. At that time, Umi Pipik could only surrender to God.
Until the Almighty really gave him the answer by bringing in a job that surprised Umi Pipik. How come? Because a beauty doctor offered her to become a brand ambassador for cosmetic products even though Umi Pipik wore a veil in her daily life.
“I have skincare, I have a factory, I want this skincare from BA Umi and use the name Umi. “I once released Umi Pipik Skincare,” said Umi Pipik.
“I stared, ‘Doc, isn’t this wrong? This is a skincare brand ambassador, I wear a hijab, what do I want to sell? What happens if it doesn’t sell? I don’t want to embarrass someone, (then) I will harm that person because of me, I don’t want that. “I wear a veil, you know, and the ones sold are cosmetics,” she continued.
However, the answer from the beauty doctor who offered her the job immediately touched Umi Pipik. “The extraordinary doctor said, ‘The one who gives me my sustenance is not Umi Pipik, but Allah’,” said Umi Pipik.

The story of Abidzar Al Ghifari’s mother certainly touched netizens. However, quite a few people then compared her story with Inara Rusli.
As a reminder, Inara decided to remove her veil after her divorce from her ex-husband, Virgoun. At that time, Inara admitted that she had to remove the veil to support her job so that she could maintain custody of her three children.
Of course, Inara’s decision at that time sparked controversy. Many say that Inara is just looking for sensation, although there are quite a few who support her.
