My wife and I want all children diligently to the mosque. What we know is that later who gets a shade from the sun in the fields before mahsar reckoning on the final day will be the youth who love the mosque. Therefore, since very small, ie since the age of a year or about that children we have invited to the mosque, of course with carrying it. They have to walk alone when they can walk. And, the greater they have to be more diligent to come to the mosque five times a day, at least maghrib-isya-dawn. My wife and I use the theory of habituation, that everyone will like what he used to do. It must be found fun for what we used to do, including the usual time to the mosque.
However, making your own self-immolated children come to the mosque, especially for every 5 prayers of time, certainly not easy. For children, sometimes mobile phones, television, and friends can be more fun. Therefore, as the child grew older, my wife and I used the theory of mouth and hand (power). This method follows the advice of the Prophet and the way my mother did. My mother ordered me to the mosque 4-5 times a day.
Every time I heard the call to prayer, my mother always said: "son, come to the mosque!" I replied: "Inggih, bu!" Like most children generally, oral requests are only replied to oral answers. No action. My mother repeated again. Answered: "It's ready. Niki had a sarungan (It's already gloved)! "However, it has not moved yet.
My mother told me as well while doing other things, sometimes still preparing food, sometimes serving people who buy wood or coconut, sometimes ready to pray at home. To be sure my mother is a hard worker. Do not like to relax.
In essence, my mother told me to go to the mosque all the time until I really left. When iqamah but I have not departed too, I was visited directly and I was made so that I left my activities that may be reading, writing a diary, sleeping, or making toys.
Essentially my mother applied the oral and hand theories, using her oral and "hands" as a mother. The hand here is not a blow, because all my life I have never been "physically handled" by my parents, but power. My mother was well aware that she was my mother and could force me to go to the mosque. My own mother, even if the person who is not smart to talk, but can make me do what he wants, I like or dislike.
I do not trust my mother in "force" the child to the mosque. However, I used the way my mother rarely used, ie giving an example to the mosque. My mother is referring to the hadith of the Prophet "the best prayer for men is in the mosque and the best place for prayer for women is his house" .For example to facilitate my children want to come to the mosque. Examples of behaving came to the mosque given by my father. Note: my father rarely sent me to the mosque. Probably because my mother had a lot to tell.
The way my mom and dad did made me happy to go to the mosque. I have until now believed that activities in the mosque make people happy. Although there are various feelings when familiarized by the parents when going to the mosque. However, when it is usual to the mosque, will feel the pleasure to the mosque.
