Eat First Sahur for Indi
Now, Ervita slowly awakens Indi to eat sahur. Not pushy, they just remember that Indi wants to learn to fast. As parents, Ervita and Pandu will certainly provide encouragement and also train Indi to fast.
Children under five years old or Toddlers like Indi, usually do not really understand the concept of fasting. For this reason, Ervita and Pandu have previously explained simply to Indi that Fasting means holding back hunger and thirst. In fact, Ervita and Pandu did not scare Indi. It is all because fasting is also done not by force. However, there is still a reward for those who want to run it including children.
"Mhrs ... Ms. Didi, it's time for sahur. Didi ma'am so want to learn to fast no? If you want to learn to fast, wake up first yuk .. we eat sahur first," said Ervita.
Feeling awakened Indi who was still a child was awakened. He heard the voice of the sahur from the mosque near his house. Then he rubbed his eyes slowly, and then sat down.
"Oh, sahur is like that huh, Nda? The sound of the mosque?" ask Indi.
Ervita then nodded her head. "really. Didi's mom wants to learn to fast? If you want, we eat sahur first. However, after eating sahur, tomorrow is not breakfast well. Just loud. If before Dzuhur is hungry, eat again. Fasting can be done without coercion" explains Ervita.
Indi nodded his head. After that, he then got off his bed. Heading to the kitchen and there was his father waiting at the dinner table. Seeing Indi wake up, Pandu smiled.
"Have you woken up, Mother Didi? We eat sahur yah," invited Jayah Pandu.
"Yes, Jayah. Study first yes, Dad," Indi replied.
Pandu nodded his head. Then Dad Pandu led a prayer together for sahur.
"Nawaitu shauma ghadin 'an ad'i fardhi shahri Ramadhanni hadzihis sanati lillashi ta'ala."
The prayer means, "I intend to fast tomorrow to fulfill the fardhu in Ramadan this year, because Allah ta'ala."
Not used to eating at this time, sometimes Indi kayak sleepy. Sometimes his head is on the table. However, Indi just woke up and ate. Seeing Indi who drowsiness, but still want to eat as if to remind Ervita and Pandu with their childhood first. Sometimes to eat sahur the eyes are still heavy. However, learning from small, familiarized parents, finally also accustomed.
After eating sahur, Ervita accompanied Indi to brush his teeth and covered by eating three seeds of dates and drinking water. Ervita also offered Indi, "You want to pray together no, dear?" tanyakanya.
Yes, when after eating sahur, Ervita and Pandu will pray together. Pandu who will lead his wife to pray together. Many are grateful and also ask for mercy from Allah.
"Yes, Nda .. ajarin ya, Nda," reply Indi.
It's time for the Fajr Prayer, Dad Pandu standing in front. The man guided Ervita and the little Indi who stood behind him, and conducted prayers together. Indi really followed every prayer movement that his father did. Study first, later Pandu will also guide Indi to pray properly and solemnly.
After the prayer, Ervita kissed the back of her husband's hand, forming as a wife that she would always submit and respect her husband. Indi did the same, kissing the back of his hand.
"Kiss his hand too, Ms. Didi," said Dad Pandu.
Indi smiled and kissed her mother's hand. Ervita smiled and rubbed the top of Indi's head. "Growing up to be a sholeh princess huh, son ... God bless and protect your every path" said Ervita.
"Yes, Nda. After this, can it be booby first, Nda? I'm still in school tomorrow" Indi replied.
"Of course you can, darling," Indi replied.
Ervita and Pandu are very happy. Hopefully later Indi can slowly learn to run the fast. In addition, both are committed to guiding carefully. Religious education for children must also be started from within the home. Father and Mother have the same obligation to guide their children in faith in God. Therefore, this good and gracious month will be put to the best use of Ervita and Pandu.
