Ustadz Ridwan's Dream

98. Growing Love

"Well kids, would you like to hear the great young Sultan Iskandar when he was a teenager?"

'"Maauuu..."

Answer children.

"When the Sultan of Aceh was young, when he was sixteen years old, he was able to expel the Portuguese from Aceh. Three hundred Portuguese soldiers died silly from the results of the attack of Sultan Iskandar young when he was a teenager named Darmawangsa. The fortress that had been occupied by the Portuguese was also captured by him through an army of elephants."

"Waaaah kereeen..."

The kids are so amazed.

"Sixteen years old means that right now there are older brothers in X class, who have an older brother in X class?"

Ask the kids in class.

Some anam seemed to be brandishing the index finger with vigor,

"Well, so the children can imagine, at that time the sultan Iskandar Muda who was still like brothers who sat in class X was able to drive out the Portuguese and reclaim the fortress of Kuta Lubok."

"Waaa..."

They seemed to immediately imagine how great the Sultan was.

"Sultan Iskandar Muda then became the King replacing Sultan Ali Ri'ayat Syah III who died, at that time he was seventeen years old. So he's very young, so he's king?"

I smiled when I asked that,

Yes Iis way of teaching is not like most other teachers who like reading books with standard sentences that make children difficult to understand.

Iis who have their own way of teaching is trying to make children not only understand the subject matter they learn, but they feel proud of the history of the country.

They are proud of the great figures in their country. They are proud of the great names in the archipelago, which is our ancestor.

History is the same as we look within ourselves and finally get to know ourselves better.

Iis wants every time he brings one material, he will bring up great figures there, which will make children grow a sense of admiration, love, pride, and love, because they live in the same land.

"Means that the Aceh sultanate is very cool huh Bu guru?"

Iis quickly nodded,

"Of course, all the kingdoms in Nusantara are indeed extraordinary. And the Sultanate of Aceh is one of them, who is more proud of us as Muslims, are those Muslims who are strong, tough, capable, intelligent, and strong."

The children seemed to be beaming with their faces, imagining that the great Sultan was the sultan who was in the land of Nusantara which is now called Indonesia made them feel very proud.

"The Sultanate of Aceh is also a sultanate that has a tough female sea admiral, remember his name? Mother Master once told the figures of women Nusantara extraordinary when Kartini day the other day, right?"

"Mother still."

Seemed a girl sitting by the window pointing her index finger up, she was indeed quite smart in history lessons.

The value is always good whenever there is a test of the history lesson Iis gave.

It looks smiling, though,

"Who's Kayla?"

Ask Iis.

"Admiral Keumalahayati Ma'am Guru..."

Answer the beautiful girl named Kayla.

Iis nodded with a smile.

"Printer."

Iis also gave her compliments.

"Admiral Keumalahayati, a tough woman who owned Aceh in addition to Cut Nyak Dien. He became the leader of two thousand troops and managed to kill the Dutch leader who attacked Aceh with a one-on-one duel on the deck of the ship. Admiral Keumalahayati, at sea led a fleet of a hundred ships. If imagined at this time, she is a female general for the Navy yes children. Hows it? Very proud, right? At a time in European countries that now seem more advanced, in the past in 1599 we already have a female admiral, namely Admiral Keumalahayati."

Iis very good at making children enjoy history lessons.

Makes them even reluctant to watch the history lesson end.
