Abdullah Gymnastiar

Indonesian preacher born in Bandung, West Java, in 1962 and known as Aa Gym. He founded the Daarut Tauhiid foundation and pesantren in Bandung in 1990, became famous for his 'Manajemen Qolbu' (Heart Management) television programme from 2001 and a soft-spoken preaching style centred on self-improvement and character, reaching at his peak one of Southeast Asia's largest sermon audiences. His second marriage in 2006 provoked a wide controversy that deeply affected his popularity.
