Holiday

Yesterday we all not feeling well. Especially me and AS and PS. S manage to do some of her mindsprinting worksheet. Three set all together, alhamdulillah. We just have a rest and lay down as I feel so bad my self.

In the evening, kids play outside as the weather is very nice, alhamdulillah. After magrib, while waiting for insya prayer, we manage to do halaqah quran for ten surah and play salat games. Slat games is good for us, as this is the time for me to see the progress of kids in term of what they learn in fikh. I'm going to do exam for kids for islamic studies by end of June or early July. This will included theory exam and practical exam. Although kids are good in looking after prayer and etc, they still on training and still lots of reminder and still lot the skill need to brush up. I like to stress out islamic studies more in term of practicality and not just learn, know it and close the book.

As for that I stress more on topic such as Fikh, muamalat and muasharat. Knowledge that need to know by kids in dealing with their day to day life. Also, tauhid and iman. Alhamdulillah, hubby do lots of talking every time after he read ta'lim in our daily ta'lim halaqah. He will talk with kids about important of bringing the amal in to practice and not just listen to the hadith and quran like we did in our ta'alim such a habit and routine only. Although we listen to it again and again, but the important bit is how to bring it into practice. It's not worth memorising all the hadith and quran, if we can't bring it into practise. And it's not worth understand what quran and hadith days in it's own language arabic, if we can't bring it into practice. It's important to learn of how to bring what quran and hadith says into practice and it's doesn't mean that we had to go through the quran it self to learn about it. As quran is a guidance, but in quran it self got so many hidden things that not everybody can understand especially for ordinary people like me and hubby unless we spend our whole life and spend time altogether in it.

I'm also don't stress to kids that every time they need to know something, they open quran and hadith. For me, quran and hadith is not for everybody to understand although one can speak arabic fluently. I did ask my brother before about the important to learn arabic language. He said to me, it's not difficult to learn, but once you know the arabic language means you know the meaning of the quran and hadith. If you know, but you don't practise it, then you will have to answer it. And someone that know arabic language had more difficult task in the day of judgement then a muslim who don't'. Because these people know and if they don't bring it into practise and it's more harder for them. He told me, it's important to stress my kids islamic studies on fikh and tauhid. This two is very important and even if someone know arabic language and the whole meaning of the quran and hadith but didn't stress on this, this is when things go wrong. and we see many sad case.

For me, as if I see hubby himself. He's not a hafiz, not an alim. He go through secular education. he become Engineer at the end. But, as far as he concern, he keep his prayer since he was seven. He don't bother about what other said, even if he friend with people who don't pray, when pray time come, he left them to do his prayer. He never get influence by immoral environment which don't follow shariah. He is strict more then and some other that learn and go through islamic studies or environment. I can say, that I salute him in term of looking after his prayer, muamalat and muasyarat. And that's what he put important in bringing up our kids. he don't mind if they don't become alim or hifd or didn't memorise quran and hadith, but putting stress on looking after themselves on prayer time, taking wuduk properly, know what to do in time of hardship to do prayer, and on top of all others, go back to Allah every time in good or bad. Pray two rakaat if we in trouble and back to Allah s.w.t. and not to other even parents. And this is tough lesson to teach, I reckon.
