Mamah Dedeh is the Badass Muslim Preaching Mom of Indonesia 

Please upvote this comment so it will be clear for rest of the viewvers. VICE made a misktake in translation. Coordinator in video was not asking about being "VIRGIN", he was asking about being "MARRIED".

funny how vice's camera is like 200% better than indosiar's

5:49 there is misleading on here.. Please vote like this comment. that man asking not about virgin (yeah he said "perawan". in english, it called virgin).. In our culture "perawan" also mean "not married yet"

As an Arab i feel like indensiouns understand more about the religions then we do. And I find them very beautiful. I had the honor of meeting them in makkah and i played around with their cute kids. Their so down to earth, friendly and faithful. May God bless Indonesia where the most musliams are ♡.

mama dedeh is so cool, i met her once on the street on the way to school and she was on a motorbike waving at people. yes I live in the same city as here. shes so precious.

By her accent, feminism, wisdom, and strong attitude Mamah Dedeh isn't just a figure of religion, she is a figure of culture

for those complaining without knowing anything about history.. strong, independent women has always been there fighting alongside men against invaders in indonesia, martha tiahahu and cut nyak dien are great examples to name a few

I believe that the South East Asian Muslim are so down to earth and proudly Muslims is because that its richly tied with their culture and tradition if any of you really want to see Islam at its finest then S.E.A is one of those places I highly recommend I'm so glad to be a Singaporean Muslim

We need more lady preachers all around the world because as women they can relate and Answer so many unanswered questions or the ones we are shy to ask the male.

I like Mamah Dedeh. I really appreciated when she said that her father told her there’s no such thing as a women’s job or a man’s job. She’s pretty much saying that male and female gender roles are stupid and non-existent, which is so hard for Muslims around the world to understand because of some of our ridiculous cultures. Male or female, we equal in the eyes of God and only God is the judge of how good of a person we are.

I'm not Muslim myself but I really have tears in my eyes listening to Mamah Dedeh. She has so much of grandmotherly warmth. God bless her ❤️

We really need such Muslim ladies in kenya so as to tackle issues related to the modern Muslim ladies.. Mashaallah Mama Dedeh you rock 👍👍👍

Now, THIS is a good interview. When you cast a reporter who understands the culture and can relate to it on a personal level, you get a thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive documentary (or mini-documentary in this case, I guess?) With all due respect, some reporters tackle issues with a judgemental approach and end up missing the point when it comes to explaining a foreign culture or values that don't align with theirs. I'm not saying that reporters should agree with every single aspect of the country/culture/movement they're covering, they're humans with opinions after all. However, they still should strive to be as unbiased as possible, be ready to challenge their own views, and cover the topic with a holistic approach.

"is there anyone still virgin in here?" but she didn't get it. (maybe because she's just city girl). the real meaning is "is there anyone in here unmarried yet?" This is categorized as a question that contains jokes because those who are asked are old mothers. everyone who answered this with "Yes" will contain double meaning, and seems impossible. this is another joke "My Grandma is still a virgin" and yes it is an impossible statement. and we use that as a jokes. but still can be used if the intended meaning is already a widow. but also unacceptable because he uses the word virgin. that's why that type of question is categorized as a joke.

Mamah Dedeh has been around since I was small. Always laughed at her way of presenting controversial topics. She's so funny yet such a strong individual at the same time! Mad respect for her

Hey guys I'm a Somali Muslim and I just wanted to say to everyone in this comment section to stop saying their version of Islam Is wrong. We all have Islam and a little bit of our culture blended in it.

Indonesian people are my favourite When I went to Indonesia I was shocked how humble and good morals the people have Very generous people even in a big city like Jakarta people are nice I wish I come soon n live with them they treated me better than my people

Love and respect to Muslim brothers in Indonesia from India Really love how Indonesian Muslims stick together and take care of each other

haha people who mad for that guy ask whether they are virgin, should learn their language first. perawan means unmarried woman, and also a virgin... its a joke tho. why these people so butthurt about this.

Many foreigner people confuse why Indonesia is majority Islam but their name look like hindu and many other. Short History from Indonesia: 1.Sriwijaya and Majapahit Empire (Hindu-Buddhist Kingdom) 2.Demak and other Sultanate (Islamic Kingdom) 3.European coming especially Dutch (Christian come here) 4.WW2 Japan and independence So why they very fast converted from Hindu-Buddhist to Islam this is the answer: 1.Declining and fall of Majapahit because civil war, many majapahit noble converted to Islam also Islam promise classless society also arabic languange (yeah trading languange) 2.Rise of Malaka Sultanate and Zheng He Treasure Fleet from Ming Dinasty who contain chineese moslem is rapidly Islamic preaching in this Malayan Archipelago. 3.Wali Songo (Nine Scholar) group of Islamic preacher from around the world came to Indonesia like Shaikh Syubakir (Turkey), Syekh Maulana Maghribi (Morocco) etc but most influential preacher is Sunan Kalijaga from Java who preach Islam but keeping traditional value still intact. 4.Sultanate Demak conquest, after many majapahit noble converted to Islam some of them make new government under Raden Patah to "cleared" civil war messed up and claiming right succession to Majapahit TL:DR read Majapahit history

Look how tolerant and non-judgmental these women are to the non hijabi. Spread the Love, not Hate. Understand the message behind this video. But dont call Mama a badass, not quite a respectful term.

She's the one who never insult anything, tolerance person to other religions, ethnic and more. When others is sometimes insult it. She's being loved by all ppl, even non muslim loved her bc of his good heart

I loved how they used the term "Badass" 😂

the hijab color grouping system is actually based on each 'jamaah' or something like parish(neighborhood mosque) ,each jamaah has their own bus and color ,so they could always stick togather with their own group while in the studio

I am not a religious person, but I really respect Mamah Dedeh and her very wise words. She is inspiring and gives factual insights. I love it. She is also open minded and really loves her beliefs. I wish her the best.

i want to meet Mamah Dedeh!! She’s an inspiration to others not just muslims ☺️

Thank you for introducing Mamah Dedeh to the world. We need more Mamah Dedeh in the world.

She’s charming and wise, and awfully reminds me a lot of my recently passed Grandmother. They also used to guide our family, and teach us how to stay on the right path. I’m just inspired by one video, I’d loved watch her show if there was English translation available

Reading the comments section. People from Indonesia and Malaysia see this like a normal sight. Meanwhile others(not all,, just some) muslim contries triggered with this. LoL whaddaheck happen in those countries ? No wonder why westerners think Islam in bad way. If any non muslim people want to learn about Islam just come to Indonesia or Malaysia.

Indonesia is one the most beautiful Muslim countries❤

There is misunderstanding here. The "Virgin" in Indonesia does not mean "the real virgin" as people think of. "Virgin" in Indonesia more likely to identification "Unmarried" or "Married". Its not just for women, its for men as well here. "Are you still virgin, boy?" it means "are you married or not yet?" "How long you keep your virgin, girl?" It means "When are you getting married?

In Iran we mostly hate the religious tv shows because there a bunch of old farts saying a bunch of nonsense, but this badass old grandma's show is pretty good, it was a very good mini documentary, wish more stuff in Indonesia and South East Asia is done.

I saw Indonesians during my Umrah they are really cute

Indonesians just take islam to an entirely different realm 😂😂

MashAllah may Allah bless you sisters. Assalamu alaikum from Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦❤

Perawan, although it means virgin, in this context, it means "unmaried" and can be used for both men and women (not an Indonesian but a Malaysian) Anyways, they are really cute and funny 😭🤣

"On our left side is the Jabal al-Nour... ....but, it's all just a dream" LMAO why did I find this funny when I read it in english than hearing it in Indonesia.

Oh my God when mama dedeh asked the interviewer about how many times she reads the Quran and memorize it's verses, my cheeks were literally flushing with embarrassment. I'm not a religious person. May Allah forgive my sins.

She has the right solution I feel for guiding children....like a kite....wonderful

I laughed out loud when I read the comments. Many people misunderstood the guy's question🤣🤣 but I understand because they don't understand Indonesian. The man's question was not dirty, not rude. It's just the translation that makes it look dirty

Never in a million years i would imagine mamah dedeh in a show like this 😂

Lol i love this reporter

SEA Muslims are totally different from typical muslim in middle east. More tolerant n more progressive. Western media rarely highlight this. Because they always associated islam with middle east /dessert culture.

Mammah is actually pretty accurate with what she stats

Really appreciate her social service. I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Insha allah one day I'll go to Indonesia and Malaysia, and learn their amazing life.

she went through all that to ask about the memes, and the grandma was so friendly about it! that was nice!

She said “bangon” to wake someone up. Very similar in the philippines.

Gosh, a lot of the jokes and humor are like Filipino style humor. XD

she is Idol for every emak-emak all over indonesia.

5:49 lost in translation, it's from old betawi ( ethnic group around jakarta) slang. It doesnt mean virgin (not yet having sexual intercourse), it means not married yet. 20-30 years ago it's common phrase, now it sounds strange, espescially for younger generation.

I work in a convent and this woman reminds me so much of my boss, one of the nuns’ there ! The way she’s super honest and frank, joking a bit around but alway keeping and living by the values of her religion, they even look alike a bit ! I see that even between religions people are very alike, and often live by the same morals for general matters 😊

I like how other women not discriminate or judge the reporter because she doesn't wear hijab. If in Malaysia, habislah kena judge

Mashallah!!! What a blessing to have heard this sister!!! Her words are like those of a mother to the whole muslimah community...worldwide.

I'm not Muslim but I love the way Islam embraces people of all ages. They are not ageist like the west

Mama Dede needs to come to Honolulu Hawaii there are a lot of Filipino and Indonesian Muslims here . They could benefit from her life experience and wisdom.

Indonesian moslem, enriched in distinctive cultural way that so unique... You can't comparing their faith by the way they act as moslem to Saudi or another Arabic Countries...

I really miss Indonesian people love you all from Saudi 💗

Very awesome and informative about Indo culture. Love from Vietnam

When she says Bangon bangon! Is so the same here in mindanao Phillippines when you wake up someone😂😂😂 im shookt!

I am an afghan and I love Indonesians

People should see this side of Islam its just beautiful, logical and calming. I don't follow Islam but I watched the whole conversation without taking a break and it was so enlightening. Thanks to people like Mamah Dedeh for existing.

I think the mistake in translating Married to VIRGIN by Vice is deliberate... Unfortunate

Virgin can also means "unmarried"

Masha'Allah TabarakAllah, I really loved Mameh Dedeh, she's a very righteous person, but still very cool, down to earth, easy to talk to, humble, and funny. Sometimes it's hard to balance the best of righteousness, work, and fun, but Mamah Dedeh does her best to succeeded in this balance Masha'Allah TabarakAllah(also may Allah bless her father immensely for his great upbringing of his children of deen and life). Insha'Allah may we all also succeed in this beautiful beautiful balance.

I used to watch this every morning with my mom. Mamah is hilarious love her

When Mamah Dedeh clicks a website, the cookie accepts her

The way she responded to people parodying her, so INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!

She is the figure that I always see on Tv since I was kid. Every morning one of my family member would switched on the tv to watch her. Her voice would fill the living room. She has been an awesome and wonderful figure who has taught the beauty of Islam. God bless her 💛

A man asking a stranger women if she’s a virgin or not is against Islamic morals! Virgin is Awra and that man has no right to ask you that question!

Indonesians are very friendly, easygoing and humble people. I respected them so much until one Indonesian girl in Europe dumped me so bad that after I found a different wrong feeling against them.

I’m a Christian, and I think this is beautiful

As a non-Muslim I do find her interesting and wonderful, think she's a role model.

13:04 When your mom is Filipino and she still sounds like that when giving lectures

I love the people of Indonesia 🌹💐

Such AWESOME neighbors i had ... salam from Malaysia to my saudara serumpun

Indonesia is one if not the most peaceful country, based on the diversity, ethnicity and religion of its massive population. All stand up in unity. Indonesia had most muslim populity but use Hindu legend as Its symbol, the biggest Mosque is placed right side by side by the Cathedral. Yes every country had a problem or conflict, even the safest one. But looking at massive population of different ethnicity and religion living peacefully in Indonesia is mesmerizing. Man i love Indonesia

greeting from Turkey, we love you:)

They all look soooo cute and nice with purity of heart. MaashAllah to our sister in Indonesia.

Love to Indonesia from Iraq 🇮🇶 ❣

What an inspiring female preacher. Amazing to see

love this inspirational video, i love this strong woman who holds their religion dearly, and stands up for there beliefs. It's a truely admirable quality.

Beautiful story and awesome journalism... Much love from Malaysia.. god made us one unfortunately we divided it . Much love and blessings to mamah and to all soul . May peace be upon you

as an Indonesian muslim, i wish this is how the world sees islam. Islam in Indonesia is far more moderate and tolerant. We hold on value like men and women are equal, there are even more women staffs in a company (altho most high position still men). it's such a shame the world only focus on Arabs.

Mama Dedeh loves memes. She a legend

I love this video, thanks for this. Different view of Islam. Language is so funny: Mama Dedeh means “mother of death” in my country.

I cracked when Yaceu, the Al Ikhlas Quran Study Group Leader, asked for a prayer with a dangdut video playing right behind her.

Not a muslim but Mama Dedeh is a Great person

every time I travel to indonesia, I will watch her preach in the morning... it started in a very early morning.... first time watch her show she has a wow factor.....

Don't hate us, we just live with happy and simple..

The reporter is sitting there like, “Hoe much longer do I have to be here?” Lol! 😂

Indonesia is unique, just like it's people.

My daughter ws 12y/o on Feb. And very proud to her that she can standing for 7 mnt of Da'wat inside the mosque to the jamaah in ramadhan before sholat tarwih with smoothly n clearly. Thank to the imam masjid to permitted for her homework from madrassah. I hope one day her do the way like mamah did

Mamah Dedeh is cute 😊💙😌 love from Pakistan... i wanna go to Indonesia seem like kind people!

I love how you all Salam by joining hands. It's like Namaste but Salam but it's cute.

mamah dedeh quotes are general. shes dffrnt from any other ulamas. she taking words from every day life thing. i love her way to deliver islam. she is so real.

I like her. I'm agnostic but what she says is true and so important regardless of religion.

Indonesians are 180 degree opposite of Pakistan when it comes to practice the religion..... their collective wisdom and ability to see beyond walls is so fascinating......!

Alhamdulillah, she's directing the mob the right way.

Indonesian is awesome👍👍 ❤️from🇲🇾

Best thing is she focus on her duty to preach religion rather than criticism Respect for Mama Dedah from Pakistan ❤
