Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): "Sesungguhnya aku hanyalah seorang manusia seperti kamu, diwahyukan kepadaku bahawa Tuhan kamu hanyalah Tuhan Yang Satu; Oleh itu, sesiapa yang percaya dan berharap akan pertemuan dengan Tuhannya, hendaklah ia mengerjakan amal yang soleh dan janganlah ia mempersekutukan sesiapapun dalam ibadatnya kepada Tuhannya".

Surah Al-Kahf: 110

Ramadhan: Tips to accomodate children in Masjid

Article from here Soundvision.

Kalau kat negara Arab sana, and berdasarkan pemerhatian kami semasa di Mekah dan MAdinah, rata-rata parents di sana gemar membawa anak-anak walaupun masih baby ke Masjid.

Dan itu sperti satu aktiviti keluarga dengan mendekatkan anak-anak ke Masjid. Memang anak-anak ni berlari ke sana ke sini, namun waktu solat jarang dengar bunyi suara anak-anak, mereka bergelak ketawa dll...

Comel je tengok gelagat mereka....

So daripada artikel di atas, apa yang menarik dan boleh cuba dipraktikkan dalam diri kita  adaLAH SPT DI BAWAH:

Five Tips to Accommodate Children in the Masjid

A Masjid that welcomes children does not have to be a loud and unruly place. Here are five tips for dealing with children in the Masjid:

1. Correct gently

Anas bin Malik relates that “the Prophet did not use insults or bad language or curse (Reported by Bukhari).

Remember that children are sinless but adults are not. Allah does not punish children for their misbehavior but Allah does hold us accountable for how we treat children.

Our duty is to remind children gently about the etiquettes of the Masjid. We cannot force a child, or even an adult, to obey. Children of all ages will stop and listen to a person who smiles, says Salam, chats with them, and shows concern for their needs. Children will ignore, evade, and insult a person who treats them with harshness, anger, and insults.

2. Offer to help

Instead of staring at a father as he runs after his energetic toddler or a mother as she struggles to calm a quiet baby, offer to help. A polite “can I watch your son while you pray” or “would you like me to hold that diaper bag” earns Sadaqa for you and helps parents control their children

3. Conduct reminder sessions

Masjids can provide frequent friendly reminders for parents and children on the rules and manners of the Masjid.

4. Create child-friendly facilities

Ensure that the Masjid washroom has a change table to prevent stains and smells on the prayer carpets. Provide a room or barriers for nursing mothers. Keep a vacuum or broom handy for parents to clean up after their children. Place Mushafs and books away from a toddler’s reach.

5. Open a parents’ room

Offer a separate Salah room for parents with children. Fill it with used toys and scrap craft materials. Organize babysitting at times when you expect lots of kids, such as Jumah and Tarawih prayers or during lectures. Most parents are willing to pay a minimal fee for the rare opportunity to pray or listen to a lecture without their kids.

SATU CERITA: Keluar lunch bersama girlfriend

Satu tengahari yang hening telah menemukan dua orang sahabat lama di sebuah kedai makan di Seksyen 7 satu tempat di Selangor.

Walaupun dekat, tapi mereka jarang bersua. Maka, apabila berjumpa pelbagai cerita dikongsi bersama.

Q: Weh, mu apa cerita?

B: Aku camnilah...

Q: Mu tak kelik kampong ka?

B: Rasa teringin nak kelik jugak, tapi ada satu benda aku kena setel dulu, lepas tu baru rasa lega nak gi mana-mana. Mu pulak apa cerita? Ada berjumpa lagi tak kawan kita jiran mu, Ali tu?

Q: Hmm, aku taktau la mek...Dulu, rajin jugak dia sembang, keluar makan ngan aku..Sekarang ni, macam nak mengelak je bertembung ngan aku.

B: Ha? Pasal pa? Aku pun dah lama tak jumpak dia.

Z: Ada satu cerita ni, kawan kita yang dok kat utara, Has. Haritu dia mintak nombor telefon  Ali kat aku. Pastu aku bagi la selepas asyik ditanya. Dia kata dia nak contact Ali ni pasal tips buat PhD. Has ni jugak ada cakap kat aku dia suka jugak dengan si A ni.

B: Oh yaka. Bagusla. Hm, pastu?

Z: Aku taktau la sama ada aku salah atau tidak bertindak camtu. Tapi, aku rasa ni penyebab nya, Ali taknak dah bertembung ngan aku.

B: Hmm, susah jugakkan.

Z: Itulah..Nak tolong kawan ni, kawan lain pula sengsara.

B: Apapun, moga kita semua waras dalam bertindak kan?
