Sejuk hati ni bila anak ajak solat. That was exactly how I felt when Imran asked me to pray Zohor with him one afternoon. Praise for Allah the Almighty.
One of many goals I set for myself a few months back is teaching Imran to pray. No, no, I’m not the type of person who makes resolution during new year. I constantly set goals for myself; short term and long term goals. It’s a method of challenging me and striving to achieve something in my life.

Okay, back to my intention for Imran to pray diligently. Last year, we had been very lenient with him (he turned 7 in November). But this year no more, we’re taking the high road. After about a month, I’m proud to say so far so good. Alhamdulillah! Even though at times he’s a bit liat (resistance) but in the end he performs his responsibility.
He already memorizes a few surahs which makes things easier. He has a few more citations in praying to learn. Though his solat is far from perfect what with moving here and there, looking everywhere, talking, daydreaming I commend his determination to learn. Apart from doa and surah, I also must emphasize to him about manners in performing solat.
When working with children, a lot of explanations are needed because they are inquisitive in nature. Imran is no exception. He has hundreds of questions. I have to be very careful with my explanation because I am very afraid I would give wrong information or interpretation. Moreover, I don’t want to scare him or make him feel burden. My ultimate goal is for Imran to perform solat willingly with a sincere heart and a clear mind. Also, I want him to pray not because of me or Hubby but because of Allah.
Words of advice for you dear: Mama doakan abang tak tinggal solat no matter what. Solat tu tiang agama. Kalau tiangnya rapuh, habis musnah dan hanyutlah yang lainnya.
