Emil and Atalia Bid Farewell to Eril
A part of the congregation acknowledged that they did not know Eril directly. However, humanity and solidarity led them to deliver a sincere prayer for Eril to be accepted by God.
The search for Emmeril Khan Mumtadz or Eril, the eldest son of the Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil in the Aare River, Bern, Switzerland, was finally stopped.
Eight days after going missing on the Aare River in Bern, Switzerland, Emmeril Kahn Mumtadz, 23, was declared dead on Thursday (2/6/2022). Millions of people felt the grief of the family of West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil and his wife, Atalia Praratya, in saying goodbye their eldest child.
The Friday (3/6) afternoon prayer at the Great Mosque of Bandung had just ended. However, at least 5,000 members of the congregation remained. The invitation to perform the Ghaib prayer, a congregational funeral prayer performed if a body is not present, for Emmeril, who was familiarly called Eril, was solemnly welcomed. The members of the congregation stretched out their hands when the priest recited the prayer after the Ghaib.
