JAKARTA - Content creator and entrepreneur Atta Halilintar has recently garnered positive attention after sharing the moment of his eldest daughter, Ameena Hanna Nur Atta, who is already good at reciting prayers. Apparently, Atta has his own way and parenting pattern in instilling religious values to his children since a young age.
As a father, Atta feels that he has a full obligation to equip his daughters with a strong spiritual foundation.
"I'm sure that the name of the father has a responsibility for his daughter so that she can have good religious knowledge," said Atta Halilintar in South Jakarta, Tuesday, April 7.
Aurel Hermansyah's husband is accustomed to having his children recite prayers and memorize the names of the Prophet. He said that the habit of reciting was instilled from a very young age, namely when the child was two to three years old.
For Atta, religious education at home is not just a formality, but an important provision that will take care of his children in the future.
"Zikir is getting closer to God, so that they are calmer, guarding against bad things, and hopefully in the future it will make them better people," he explained.
Not only to Ameena, similar education has also begun to be applied to his second daughter who is still a baby, Azzura. However, Atta admitted that he did not always document his children's memorization moments on social media.
"Azzura is also, later... it's just that yesterday it hasn't been uploaded. It's also rare because sometimes there are memorizations that aren't videoed," said the eldest of Gen Halilintar.
To motivate his children to be enthusiastic about learning religion, Atta has a special trick. He sets a target for memorization that indirectly creates a positive competitive climate at home.
"But I'm happy to have targets for my children, so they are like competing with each other: 'What am I doing, what am I doing.' I think it's a good thing," he explained.
More interestingly, Atta implemented a reward system for his children's achievements. However, it is not in the form of direct goods, but rather a point collection system.
"The reward is points. So the points later they can exchange toys or exchange snacks like that," he said.
Behind the point exchange system, this 29-year-old man actually wants to slip in a message of life. He wants to teach that to get what you want, it takes hard work.
"So they were taught from childhood that if they wanted something, they had to work hard. Moreover, this business is good for them later on," concluded Atta Halilintar.
