YOGYAKARTA In Islam, aqidah is the basis of a person's faith in Allah SWT. To strengthen beliefs and prevent individuals from syirical acts, akidah needs to be instilled from an early age starting from the age of 0 months to 6 years. This period is known as the golden age period, which determines the development of individuals in the future. So, how to instill faith in a person from an early age? Let's have the tips in the review below.

Quoting a book entitled My Son Invests In My Afterlife (Education of Children Of Ala Rasulullah) by Said Ats Tsaqofy, here are some ways to instill faith in someone from an early age:

The first tip is mentalqin or to guide children to say tauhid sentences. Imam Al-Ghazali emphasized the importance of planting faith since children were young, starting with memorizing, then understanding, until finally believing wholeheartedly.

The simple way that can be done is to read sentences of creed frequently from a baby.

Next tip, teach children to love Allah SWT. How to get used to praying and asking for help only to Him. Through this habit, children will understand that Allah is the only place that depends on everything.

In addition, parents can also foster a sense of love for God by telling His kindness and blessings. The Prophet SAW also emphasized the importance of this.

In a hadith narrated by Imam At-Tirmidzi, from Ibnu Abbas, Rasulullah SAW said:

"Nak, I will teach you some strands of sentences, 'Take care of Allah, surely He will take care of you. Tell me Allah you will surely find Him in your arms. If you ask, then ask Allah! And if you ask for help, ask Allah for help! You know, if all mankind are united to give you goodness, they will not be able except what God has determined for you. And if they are all united to harm you, they will not be able except for what God has determined over you. Pena has been appointed and the sheets (definite records) have dried up.' "Hadis History (HR) Imam At Tirmidzi

To instill faith from an early age, parents can also read the stories of the prophet and show the greatness of Allah SWT. Related to this, parents can use a picture story book or audio-visual media to make it more interesting.

These examples will foster the values of tauhid in children, instill a sense of love for the prophet, as well as make them role models of life.

In another hadith with Ibnu Najjar and Ad-Dailimi, the Prophet SAW said:

'Learn to your children three things, love your Navi, love your family, and read the Koran.' (HR Imam Ath-Tabrani).

The Qur'an is a form of Allah that guides the lives of Muslims. Therefore, parents should guide their children to read and understand the contents of the Qur'an from an early age so that in the future they become individuals who uphold the teachings of Islam.

Give a special time for prayer together. Don't just focus on memorizing, but also teach the meaning and message behind the holy verses so that the child is more confident in the greatness of Allah SWT.
