Family Lifestyle

Now, let me talk a bit about family. Generally family is social group united of kinship. It is a group consisting of the parents and their child or children, also the family provides its members with protection, religion, socialization, affection, etc. Of course the structure and its needs is different from one family to another. Every family has their own lifestyle.

My husband is a unique leader. Basically he owns the rules, but democracy is applied. There is just one rule which can control the family organization, which is by its members. In my family, every family member not only has free thought such as independent inquiry and speculation, but also free association or spontaneous expression but in a good way.

My family has power of independent action and choice, that is the ability to act or make choices as a free and able to make decisions. We feel freewill. However, it doesn't mean that we are not restricted in rights. Indeed, there is a rule in my family life which should be followed obediently. We must reliable and responsible with accepting the risk and able to solve the problem caused by something, usually something wrong or disapproved.

Democratic family of mine makes me feels comfortable. We could convey something and express great deal of feeling and meaning, of course without refusing, failing, breaking and disobeying the rule, instruction, and authority of the family. My family is priceless and I really thank God for giving me this family.

Teaching Our Children about Ramadan

Alhamdulillah, Allah still gives us the opportunity to meet the holy month of Ramadan 1437 H. When a Muslim reaches mature age, he/she should have fast and other ibadah in Ramadan. As parents, we need to train our kids to fast and give them the meaning of Ramadan which the rewards and benefits are very plentiful. I started to introduce my son about Ramadan when he was about 4 years old.

Keep The Children Healthy during Ramadan

Shaum/Sawm is one of The Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan (a complete fasting), we do the fast for about 29 or 30 days in a row. It is the Holy Month for Muslims. Those twelve years old and above must complete their fast from dawn to sunset. I've started to teach my child to fast from the last two years when he was 6 years old, even he's just done his first fast for only a couple hours, at least he tried. There are many even as young as four or five are encouraged to fast for a few hours a day during Ramadan by their parents. It's to begin appreciating the significance of the Holy month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah , I'm very grateful, this Ramadan my son now is 8 years old and so excited about following Ramadan completely.
