Child Care

It's not what you leave for them, but what you leave in them!

I like this key verdict very much:) because it prompts me that I have a lot to leave in my children.

While having our short dialogue this morning, hubby told me about a case happened to one of his friends. A family dispute that  last long and yet have not treasure any best resolutions.

Hubby pointed out that the teaching of Allah is just flawless for human. See, whenever he talks, he really like to look up at his locus, Quran. He was telling me on how important it is to nurture up kids with solid groundwork in Islam, because a child head is very absorbent. They are fast learner!

Firstly, teach them the basic about Islam when they are small. Our Almighty Creator, our duties and responsibilities as a servant to Allah. Secondly, translate the teachings with our regular live. They are practicing what we were teaching them, so communicate them the truthful way as Islam teaches us. And lastly, provide them healthy environment as for them to learn, since they do not only learn by formal education, but informal as well.

I tried to compare myself with hubby. Just to find any gap between the teachings, since I truly have a believe that it is not necessary for a kid to start life with islamic schools, islamic teachings since there were young. Well, I think as long as we serve them with islamic teachings, they were going to be good, never fall off the track of Islam. I seriously learn Islamic teachings (formally) during my secondary school. I was in Tabika Perpaduan when in pre-school, then went to Convent (so-called English school) during my primary years. Then, my parents send me to SMK Agama Baling for a better Islamic foundation earnings. Then , I was in MMU taking accounting …Yes, I have learnt Islamic studies and understood them well.

En Suami, he started his life with proper Islamic education since his father was an ustaz. His family, schools…and even in universities, he was taking Islamic related studies….Yes, he also have learnt Islamic studies and understood them well enough.

Orite…

Yes, En Suami is a type of person who is depending on Allah at all times. I myself, may get frustrated at some times, when I did not score for studies, when I was unable to achieve my target, when I did not get bonus at the end of year….sometimes, I felt like….where did I do wrong? I have done my best, but maybe it is not yet the best I could try. Well, not that bad, huh?

En Suami? Whenever he received  result which does not meet his expectation, he said..Allah has fixed this is what I should get, Allah has agreed that my part is just at this much,  Allah knows better for me, Allah …Allah..and Allah!! 

Never he said this is his stupidity, neither he says “I am upset of what happened”. And whenever anyone pleases him, it goes back to Allah again.

 

I end up telling myself..time is running, I should do what I think best fit my children!! Yes yes yes ! 

Oooo Allah, please guide me through my way in leaving the best for them..amiin !

This was a real example that I could see in my life. Nothing related to anyone,  so please do not misinterpret this writings. 

Of course, thank you so much to mak, abah, to have such  great sons and daughters! You guys have done the best level to pursue the "amanah" and gift of Allah ..:)
