How to make your children pray on their own without quarrel or a reminder.


I still remember when I was young, praying is one of the most important things yg I paling malas nak buat.  I mmg dah diajar sembahyang seawal umur I lima tahun rasanya sebab masa tu dah join Tadika Islam.  So bila masuk umur 7 tahun mmg my dad akan pastikan I solat setiap waktu.  Setiap waktu dia akan ingatkan untuk solat.  At times, I mmg akan solat tapi ada juga some times yg i mengelat.  Masuk toilet, then masuk bilik and baring atas katil.  10 minit pastu, keluar bilik sambung tgk tv.  Kalau my dad buat solat jemaah, mmg x leh elak la kan, so time tu mmg "terpaksa" la solat.

Seingat I, perangai I ni berlarutan sampai la umur I belasan tahun.  Even masa tu dah baligh, tapi perangai x berubah.  My dad, being a dad mmg akan ingat kan we all untuk solat.  Kalau nak gi mana2 dulu, kena solat dulu.  Dia sanggup tunggu we all sampai selesai solat baru la keluar.  Same old perangai, masuk bilik baring2,  10 mins later keluar.. opss before that, basahkan sikit rambut and muka untuk nampak kan real lagi air sembahyang tu.  And probably sbb I was not doing this "tipu menipu" alone, sbb my kakak pun sama dua kali lima jugak dgn i, so lagi best la kan ada geng.  Astagfirullahalazim... 

As time passed by, and I entered UiTM after my O-Levels, time ni baru la improve banyak sangat in terms of praying ni.  Itu pun atas sebab2 tertentu.  No 1, probably sebab tgk roomates I solat, No.2 sebab my pre diploma was in Jengka, Pahang so orang cakap tempat tu berhantu sbb Harun Din penah buang 2 whole buses of hantu/setan/jin/anak beranak kat situ.  So sebab takut kan hantu, sebab tu la solat.  Teruk kan?

During my diploma, degree and working time, alhamdulillah byk la perubahan dari dulu. Maybe masa ni dah besar sket and dah boleh fikir pasal dosa pahala ni kan.  Tapi ada jugak la time2 yang I missed and kadang2 Qada, kadang2 biarkan je.  At this age, my dad still ingat2 kan juga untuk solat bila masuk waktu tu but not as much as before la.  Maybe dia pun takut gak suh solat tgk2 I period ke kan. Hehe.

So bila agak2nya I betul2 berubah and jaga solat ye?  

Can u believe it, at the age of 30 pun I rasa solat I belum cukup sempurna.  Masih banyak improvement yang i kena buat dalam solat.  Tapi alhamdulillah, even years after years of not taking solat as something serious,  Allah swt masih bagi i peluang untuk terus beribadah to Him.  Sekarang ni, alhamdulillah I cuba jaga solat sebaik mungkin.  Kalau termiss, inshaAllah I akan Qada.  Of cos at times, hubby akan sentiasa ingat kan i untuk solat awal i.e. jgn lambat2 kan solat.  

Anyway, I pernah juga terfikir macamana nak didik anak2 untuk solat nanti.  Yelah, bila tiba masanya, hopefully we'll know what to do nanti.  Apapun, as parents I believe kita kena la sentiasa berdoa to Him supaya melembutkan hati anak2 kita untuk mendirikan solat sebab no matter how much we train them, Allah swt sahaja sebaik2 pertolongan untuk lembutkan hati mereka.

So, I got this from my friend's blog who got this from her friend's blog.  A Du'a to amalkan.  Du'a ni boleh diamalkan even before you are married.  So benda yg elok and boleh diamalkan bersama2, marilah kita kongsi2 ye.  Also as a reference untuk I nak amalkan, inshaAllah.


The Supplication is in the Surah Ibrahim [14], ayah # 40 سُوۡرَةُ إبراهیم

And the Supplication is...
( رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى‌ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلۡ دُعَآءِ (٤٠

"Rabbi-Ajal'ni muqeema salaati, wa min Dhurriyyati, rabbana wataqabbal duaa"


[14:40] O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.


Mari la kita ramai2 amalkan ok.  InshaAllah...


xoxo,
Naz
