A Story and Lesson

August 6, 2009

Innocence from a child when he said "My Dad I wish you were a dead"A young child in his third grade in school, his teacher urges them to follow Allah orders to do Al Fajer prayer (a prayer before sunrise) to respond to Allah. The result is that this child affected by this and responds to pray in Al Masjed (a place where prayers pray together). However, it is somewhat difficult for him, but he decided to pray in Al Masjed. The problem, who will wake him up, his mom, NO, his dad NO, so what should he do?! Then, he decided a danger decision, to be wake the whole night and not sleep just to attend Al Fajer pray. Then, when he wants to go outside to Al Masjed, he saw the darken place outside, he got fear, the street looks awful, no one there walking. What he should do then? Suddenly, at this moment, he hears sounds of someone walking slowly in this dark place, he saw an old man, actually, he is a grandfather of his friend. Then, he decided to walk behind him until he reaches the Masjed, then the child could pray. He did this daily walking behind this old man without feeling that someone walking behind him. No one at home discovers this just one thing that this child sleeping during the day and they don't know the reason. Later on, this child heard that this grand man died. He screams and cries, they astonished, why he is acting like this, this old man is not his father or his relative?! When his dad tried to know the reason, his son said "dad, I wish you was the dead one", then, he told his father the whole story about his praying Al Fajer and about this old man. His dad got an effect from his story and he life changed because of his son, maybe because of this teacher who taught this young child.

green greener United Arab Emirates	Thank you DE CARVALLO and ROSE for your comment. This little child didn't get an encouragement from his parent, maybe his father was not going to Masjed for Al Fajer pray, thus, this child found this old man as a reason for him to go to Al Masjed in this dark street, he definitely felt safe by walking behind him. He cried for this old man death; because he was thinking about this pray, how he would go there, with whom? This little child made a change in his father life and maybe with his whole family by his attitude. How many children in this world was a reason to change their family and society from worse to better?
