Dear Mama, Ummi, Mum, Ibu,
Bonda...
I have to share this with you...
because i feel so happy and i feel that all my penat lelah paid
off...
I started to make my Amna to solat 5
times a day when she was 7, on her 7th birthday...we had a talk...(check note
lama) tapi preparation since 6 la...tapi dari kecik memang selalu ikut2 la kami
solat....she hasnt missed her solat since. Walaupun lambat, tetap solat. I made
sure of that - because the key is SOLAT ni kalau
tak tanam dari kecik memang LIAT nanti....But
it is very important to keep this in mind:-
1) kalau kita bagi dia tinggal WALAUPUN sekali nanti we are sending
the wrong signal - kena make sure - every waktu without fail, walaupun
penat, ataupun lambat
2)l Selalu
kalau boleh solat together..mula2 memang kena solat together....kalau tak ada rumah make sure an adult in the
house pastikan anak kita solat. (hari tu Amna pergi her reading class, i asked
her teacher to take her to the suarau) - lepas solat time tu lah peluk cium,
senyum - i always kiss her at the head and say
"Barakallahufiha" Ya Allah make my Amna a good Muslim Ya
Allah....make her never miss her solat Ya Allah.....kuat2 bagi dia
dengar....
ps:- kalau kena amik cuti
ambillah - bukan waktu exam je amik cuti - buatlah STEP ini, yakni
melangkah ke alam 7 thaun dan tidak meninggalkan solat A BIG Thing! "mama
amik cuti hari ni sebab nak pastikan yang adik solat 5 waktu sehari!"
3)Selalu cerita how IMPORATANT it is to
solat..how Allah is watching us... how we are good Muslims when we solat, how
Allah loves us, Solat tu, untuk kita, bukan untuk Allah.....TAPI selalu jugak
cerita yang akan ada orang TAK solat...acknowledge the fact that sometimes we
feel lazy to solat....itu semua kerja SETAN! Fight them off....! I tell Amna
that even some grown ups tak solat! I tell Amna that....we have to be strong..
we have to tell ourselves we will NEVER miss our solat.....
4)Awal2 subuh ni memang tak bangunkan,
tapi as soon as dia bangun pagi, ill ask her to solat straight away.(yes memang
leceh..but we have to, and we have to do it with LOVE diselang
seli dgn strictness)
5)kalau
dia tinggal - DENGAN sengaja, i take the rotan and hit her on her tapak
tangan slowly, just as a reminder. After that i hug her and tell her i
love her, and i just want her to remember - and guess what?? memang dia ingat!!! (3 kali baru, i think not bad, sampai satu hari
dia terlambat solat, sebab keluar dan memang tak ingat, dia yang suruh rotan)
But i tell her kalau TERLUPA atau TERTIDUR its ok...but kena solat terus bila
bangun.
Macam ni ceritanya, i told Amna, kalau
Ummi ambik Amna dari sekolah lambat, Amna solat dulu Asar kat sekolah....tadi
memang datang lambat...i was loking for her..and guess what????
She was actually praying her Asar
prayers...sorang je kat dalam surau tu....i wanted to pengsan and cry...she did
all by herself.... i pun told her how happy and how proud i was of her...i
tanya dia kenapa? dia kata "Amna ingat apa Ummi cakap".....cair nya
hatiku ini.
Apa lagi, Ummi ni peluk cium dia....and
called nenek at Australia...now im sharing with all of you!!! Because i want us to raise generation of good Muslims that are
disciplined, smart, intelligent -that remembers Allah because the world so
BADLY needs good QUALITY Muslims like this!!!
And the foundation is - to start them
off right - solat at SEVEN! Yes just as how Rasulullah asked us!
I love you all!!! Good night.....
But the key to all this IS Mak Ayah
KENA dan WAJIB solat dulu...anak ketam tak boleh diajar berjalan
terus...fahamkan?
Alangkah
bertuah dan syukurnya kalau dapat seorang isteri yang dpt berfikir macam
wardina safiyyah nih... Sekurang-kurangnya dapat sama-sama membantu seorang
suami dalam melaksanakan amanah dan tanggungjawab sebagai ketua keluarga..amiin
