How To Teaching A Son
A 14-year-old boy, at any time when the time for the fardhu prayer has arrived he always goes to the mosque to fulfill God's command.
At one time, the boy said to his father;
"Father...
I no longer want to start praying in the mosque from now on"
His father was shocked to hear his son's words, he became curious and curious about what became the cause of his son so did not want to go to the mosque again. The father asked;
"Why are you changing now? What's the reason so you do not want to go to the mosque anymore?"
The Son replied;
"Now in the mosque a lot of times I meet people who look very neat and polite in dress, seen from the clothes they wear like obedient people, but it turns the opposite.They bustle them in the mosque instead of establishing prayers or dhikr, but they are busy talking about the ugliness of others and some are busy with their android phone."
For a moment after listening to the answer of the child, some time the father began to think and contemplate something. Then the father said;
"OK...
If that's your reason as you said...
for further...
on the day you still go to the mosque as usual, but there is one requirement that you must do. If that requirement has been done, then it is up to you. Do you still want to establish prayers in the mosque or not"
The boy was curious about the requirements of his father, so the child asked;
"What is the requirement of father..?"
Her father calmly answered;
"You take one glass and fill it with water, then you bring the water-filled glass around the mosque, on one condition you must remember that no water is spilled."
In order to uphold his father's orders, the boy finally brought the full water in the glass very carefully, so that no water was spilled even if only one drop.
After completing as instructed plus his father, the boy finally came home. Upon returning home, the father asks her;
"Have you brought the water around the mosque...?"
The child replied succinctly;
"Already Well"
Then his father asked the next question;
"How is the result, is there water spilled?"
The child replied;
"There is no"
His father asked again;
"Inside the mosque when you brought water in a glass, are there still people who are busy talking about the disgrace of other people and people who are busy with their android phone?"
The child replied;
"About their busyness I do not know dad...
because I'm focusing I just focused on this glass"
His father asked again;
"When you are carrying a glass around the mosque, are you still listening to people who talk about other people's ugliness?"
The child replied;
"I can not hear it at all because I'm busy concentrating on controlling the water in this glass is not spilled".
After listening to the answer from his son, the father smiling with satisfaction, then the father also said;
"my son...
That's the way things are in our lives, if we concentrate on our purpose in life then we will not have time to gauge the shortcomings and bad things of others"
"If the time we have we use to assess the quality of life of others, then we have forgotten the importance to pay attention to the quality of our own life"
