Prayer is a very important factor in printing a child. In fact, gain cannot be obtained without prayer. Guidance and guidance are in God's hands.

مَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِي وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

"Whoever is guided by Allah is the one who is guided. And whoever is misled by Allah, they are the losers." (QS. Al-A'rof : 178)

Praying for a child who has been practiced by the prophet in the past. It is contained in the Qur'an.

The prayer of Prophet Ibrahim 'alaihis salam,

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

"Robbi hablii minash shoolihiin" [O My Lord, give me (a child) who belongs to the righteous". (QS. Ash Shaffaat: 100).

In addition, the prayer of parents also plays an important role because it is a mustajab prayer,

ثَلاَثُ دَعَوَاتٍ مُسْتَجَابَاتٌ لاَ شَكَّ فِيهِنَّ دَعْوَةُ الْوَالِدِ وَدَعْوَةُ الْمُسَافِرِ وَدَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ

"There are three prayers that mustajab that are undoubtedly the prayers of the parents, the prayers of the traveling (safar) and the prayers of the wronged." (HR. Abu Daud no. 1536, Ibn Majah no. 3862 and Tirmidhi no. 1905. Al-Hafizh Abu Thahir said that this hadith hasan).

Therefore, parents should always pray for the good of their children so that they get guidance from Allah. Parents Exemplify Being Soleh

The child is an intelligent imitator. Often we see that the child can imitate the behavior he sees and hears. If the surrounding environment, especially parents, exemplifies its gain, it will be very likely to be a child soleh. An example is when parents wake up in the morning, the child will be more likely to wake up in the morning as well.

One example in exemplifying the acquisition is Sayyid bin Musayyib. He prayed so that his son would become a soleh. Sayyid bin Musayyib said to his son,

لَأَزِيْدَنَّ فِي صَلاَتِي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ

"O my son, I continue to increase my prayer because of you (that you may become soleh, pen.)." (Jami' Al-'Ulum wa Al-Hikam, 1:467).

Besides being useful as an example, the gain of parents is also the cause of the decline of God's care. Umar bin Abdil Aziz said,

"Every believer who dies (where he continues to pay attention to the duty of Allah, pen.), allah will always take care of his children and descendants after that." (Jami' Al-'Ulum wa Al-Hikam, 1:467). Religious Education Early on

Children's education at an early age can shape their temperament in the future. In Islam, this is very important. The Apostle shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

مُرُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ وَاضْرِبُوهُمْ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَهُمْ فِى الْمَضَاجِعِ

"Command your children to pray when they are 7 years old. Hit them if they don't do it when they're 10 years old. Separate their beds." (HR. Abu Daud no. 495. Al-Hafizh Abu Thahir said that this hadith is shahih).

On another occasion, the Apostle shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam once educated Adab Umar ibn Abu Salamah, who was a child,

يَا غُلاَمُ سَمِّ اللَّهَ ، وَكُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ

"Little child, call the name of Allah (read bismillah) when eating. Eat with your right hand. Eat those near you." (HR. Bukhari no. 5376 and Muslim no. 2022).

In addition to adab, parents also need to educate children to stay away from prohibited things such as lying, seizing other people's goods, and other despicable acts. If parents feel unable to teach, it is recommended to register children to the Qur'an Education Park (TPA) around the residence.
