To be the Third

Educating Children in Islamic Teaching

Happy Reading😗's

This morning Eve was making breakfast to eat everyone! Eve was helped by her Mother and Bik Surti as well. They made Seafod fried rice with a padang egg omelet and potato parchment.

Ummi walked towards the kitchen, where the three women were cooking. '' Waaah, does it look good?'' '' said Ummi when he reached the kitchen.

'' Yes Mi, very tasty evenm'' replied Eve

'' Eum, it's your mother Wa?'' ask Ummi while glancing at Mother Rum.

Mother looked at Ummi, when she was called. '' I'm her mother Hawa Buk! My name is Rumanah. His mother Hawa.'' said Mother introduced herself.

Ummi shook Mom's hand. '' I Ummi his Syifa, Buk! Welcome and greetings yes.'' said Ummi

Mother nodded. '' Yes Buk, thank you for accepting my son, Eve. Thank you for being kind to Eve.''

'' O Allah Buk, this is my duty as second mother Eve! I am very proud of my mother, because she was able to educate Eve to be a strong, tough, wise and noble hearted woman! Even have such good manners.'' praise Ummi

'' I could have! It is our duty as parents. Educate our children, be personal and noble! For later in the Hereafter, they are the way for us to reach God's paradise explained Mother

Ummi mangguk agrees. '' Buk is right! I totally agree with my mom. We as parents, cannot be negligent in educating children! Because of them too, the gates of hell are open to us. As is clear that...

Prophet Muhammad SAW in a history once said, Indeed, every child born into this world is in a holy state (fithrah, Islam). And, because of the two masters, the child will be a Jew, a Christian, or a Magi.''

This explanation confirms that every child born is like a pure, clean white paper. He has no sin and no fault and no evil that makes the paper black. However, because of the way to educate parents, the character of the child can be colorful: bad temper, disobey both parents, and do not want to serve Allah SWT.

In the book Tarbiyah al-Awlad fi Al-Islam, the work of Abdullah Nashih Ulwan, in the Qur'an or hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW, has been explained about the procedure of educating children.

Among them are to obey and obey their parents, not to associate with God, not to deny His commands, not to lie, and so on. [See QS 9:23, 17:23, 17:24, 29:8, 31:15, 37:102, 2:83, 4:36, 6:151, 12:99, 12:100, 17:23, 17:24, 17:24, 19:14, 19:32, 29:8, 31:14, 46:15].

When an adult, a child is obligated to give a living to both parents [2:215, 30:38], the child is also obliged to give advice to parents [QS 19:42, 19:43, 19:44, 19:45], pray for him [QS 14:41, 17:23, 17:24, 19:47, 26:86, 31:14, 71:28], as well as maintaining and taking care of them when they are old [QS 17:23, 17:24, 29:8, 31:14, 31:15, 46:15].'' Ummi is obviously at length.

And there are several ways also in educating children in Islam, such as...

The child is the care of God who will live independently and separated from his parents. Therefore he must be equipped with strong faith and strict rules in living life. Likewise for educators, children are a mandate that must be educated so that later he can live his life with the provision of knowledge and teaching from the educator. In general, parents or educators only make psychology books as educational references for their children. Rarely among those who make the Quran’an and Sunnah as a reference in implementing education. Islam as rahmatan lil ‘alalmiin religion has specific methods and ways to improve and educate children. The way of education is certainly adjusted to the level of age and maturity of thinking of the child.

Education with this love and advice is found in the Qur’an letters Luqman verses 11, 17, and 18. In verse 11 explains how Luqman was gentle in advising his son by using the word “Oh my son..”. Likewise with verses 17 and 18, Luqman educates his son wisely, without violence, and without the impression of frightening horror. Education with compassion and advice is also in accordance with the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad narrated by Bukhori and Muslim :

"From Umar bin Abu Salamah r.a. said: ‘when I was a child, I was under the supervision of the Prophet SAW, and my hand moved to stall the food on the plate. Then the Messenger of Allah said to me, ‘O son, say the name of Allah, eat with your right hand"

The next education can be done by being apathetic. According to the Great Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), apathy is indifferent, indifferent, and stupid, Education like this is more devoted to children who are in the early phase of elementary school age. At this age, the child learns to discover his or her identity. People and things around him certainly helped build character in him. The spirit to emulate and imitate the movements, language style and body language of others is sometimes a thing that is often done to find and know who he is.

In this process of identification, a child needs to get guidance about what he does and what he says. If in its development, the child looks distorted then as an educator and parents should be reprimanded. If the reprimand given is not heeded and the child repeats his actions then it is appropriate to apply apathy to the child.

This corresponds to the following story:

In a story it is said: Relatives of Ibn Mughaffal who had not yet baligh played throwing stones. Then he forbade and said, “Verily the Prophet has forbidden to play throwing stones and he said, ‘Verily throwing stones will not be able to hunt for prey.’.Then the boy came back to play. So he said, ‘I tell you that the Messenger of Allah has forbidden it, yet you continue to play stone throwing? Then I won't take you to talk forever!”

Abi, Umar, Eve's father and Ikbal who had just come to the kitchen, they listened to the story of 2 mothers who were cooking it, they heard the story, they listened to every word that came out of the mouths of the two heavenly opening women.

Especially Eve, she digested every sentence that came out of her two mothers. For Eve will also be a Mother, so the responsibility of Eve is so great in the Hereafter and before God later.

'' Son, what daydream?'' ask Dad.

'' No Dad! Eve was just listening to all the explanations Ummi and Mother. Eve will also be a parent! So Eve, must be right in educating children, according to Islamic teachings.'' explained Eve.

'' Right Son, Abi agrees! Teach your son, and educate him later with the upbringing that the Prophet Muhammad exemplifies to us his people!'' abi timpal.

Eve nodded. '' Oh yes, Bang Adam where is Bi?'' ask Eve to Abi.

'' It's in Syifa's room! He said he wanted to see Syifa.'' explained Abi.

Eve nodded her head back. Then look at the 2 women who are discussing educating children, who have not been run. As they were looking at Ummi and Mother Eve arranging food on the table, Adam shouted.

Ummie..... Abi..... Eve.....

Seriate.....
