Tips for Educating Children with the Prophet

In Islam, educating children as the next generation of lineages is very important. No wonder there are so many books and books on how to educate generations to produce the best generation in the universe. There are even many slogans about creating a golden generation in schools in Indonesia to tell people that the education taught there aims to produce useful golden generations. Not only is it beneficial for the people but also beneficial to all beings in the universe.

Hmmmmm...talking about humans who are beneficial to the universe of course the muslimin and Muslimats out there already know who should be used as an example and meet the criteria as a beneficiary for the universe right?

Yep, he is none other than the Prophet Muhammad sallahualaihiwassalam (Allahumma solli 'ala muhammad wa'ala ali sayyidina muhammad). Many of his stories can all benefit us to be used as a lesson so that we can be safe in this world and in the hereafter. As we know that Allah himself stated this in the Qur'an surah Al-ahzab
Verse 21.

 لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ
حَسَنَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا

Indeed, the Messenger of Allah is a good example for you for those who expect Allah and the Day of Resurrection and he mentions Allah a lot.

Well before we start the stage of educating children, we should first prepare ourselves, especially mothers. Because after all the mother was the first madrassa for her children. This means we are the first place to learn for our children in the future. Therefore, it is important for us to reflect on several things, such as:

1. Musing that the Son is a blessing that God has given us.

As Allah says in the Qur'an surah Al Kahfi verse 46:

الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ
الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا

Wealth and children are the jewels of the life of the world but the practices that remain godly are better rewarded in the sight of your Lord and better to be hopeful.

            وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْⴺُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ

And (remember also), when your Lord proclaims; "Surely if you are grateful, We will add you, and if you deny it, then My punishment is very painful."

2. Musing that the Son is a jewel given by God to test us.

As Allah says in the Qur'an surah At Thagobun verse 15:

إِنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

Surely your wealth and your children are only trials( for you), and in the sight of Allah is a great reward.

The real lesson that can be taken from this contemplation can be seen in the story of Noah found in the Qur'an surah Hud verses 41-48. Allah says in this letter that there is no family of anyone who does not believe in Allah. And God also tells that the child is a trial given so that every creature always takes refuge in Him. Surely the guidance comes only by allah's permission (taufiq guidance).

3. Musungi that the dishole of parents is
The main capital to educate generations.

CHILDREN'S EDUCATION PROCESS

Actually the process of educating must be done while the child is still in the womb. The first education is to do a lot of prayers, do charity, remember Allah a lot (with zikrullah), a lot of gratitude and patience with difficult pregnancy times because of the many changes that occur in the mother's body, and do the activity of talking to the baby (utun: Arabic to call the fetus in the womb).

Always be sincere and continue to fear Allah by always trying to do the obligations commanded by Allah and stay away from all prohibitions.

Always learn to be a good parent. Because the parents who always learn will learn. The more knowledgeable a person is, the more he will be able to hold his emotions.

Always be responsible as a parent and always remember that time with children is the right of every child born.

Always be patient and keep afraid. Always remember the Qur'an surah Az zumar verse 10.

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ
ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۗ وَأَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةٌ
ۗ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Meaning: Say:
"My faithful servants. Fear your Lord." Those who do good in this world are good. God's earth is vast. Surely only those who are patient are fulfilled their reward without limits.

Always be gentle and not be rude. To always maintain the softness, we mothers must read often and remember the Quran surah Ash-Shura verse 30.

وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ
أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ

And whatever calamity befalls you is caused by the deeds of your own hands, and Allah forgives you.
Most of your mistakes.

Always be compassionate

It must be soft and flexible. By having this trait, the child will always find us to change ideas and ask about anything he does not know. But still remember to always prioritize the obligatory first rather than the sunnah.

Have a nature that is not easily angry. Always beristighfar will be able to help us in managing our emotions. And also do not forget there is a hadith that states that God promises paradise to anyone who can hold his anger.

Familiar to the child and remain authoritative. This can be done by exchanging ideas with children. Have a special time to consult and tell about the things faced. And listen to everything the child says and always explain what is right and wrong in the child.
