Bismillah
Scene 1
2 weeks ago was the first time i met with maryam.It was after maghrib i met Uncle Yusuf european at burandah mosque. He looked tired. Tired because of long journey and had to take care of his grandchildren.
After salatul magrib i greet him, bilal and maryam. I asked him what made him came all the way down to brisbane. He said he went to visit a friend and stopped by to pray magrib before heading towards woodridge. Bilal was whining and I cheered him up.I already know bilal from before but not maryam. This was the first time i chatted with maryam. Uncle yosuf asked me to look after maryam while he performing the nawafil salah.
I felt pity since he pretty looked tired and i agreed. Although i actually not good with kids, as per se talking with kids.... I pray to Allah to give me an idea to entertain her. At least in this short time she can benefit something from me.
" Maryam, do you know alif ba ta?" She nodded.
"Can you recite it to me?"
She recited it happily with a very beautiful smiles. I corrected her when she did a mistake and she learned new words from me. Looking at smiles on her face made me forget about my sadness and stress. what a beautiful Allah's creation.
Scene 2
Every saturday i am the person in duty for AMYN library.But during this day, kids class is also held. Never cross in my mind to teach these kids and if someone asked me to teach, i will just say " I have a library to finish"
Actually it was just my lame excuse. I'm not 'fit' to teach. Fit in term of knowledge. I might know about many things but when something to do with educating Children (even this is not malaysian children), Dont even try to count on me.
But by Allah wills, one day Shaykh abu abdul aziz asked me to teach a group of children IQRA. At first i refused but looking at his circumstances i said yes.
Take note i'm not teaching normal kids. these are 'special' kids. These kid dont even know how to read fatihah (some does) and really obsessed with break dance!
I categorised these kids as slow learner.they dont have any motivation and they dont want to learn to read Iqra.I actually dont really know what to do with these kids.
But when i ponder back during my childhood. I was in their shoes. Being secluded from the class because needing a 'special' treatment in reading and writing. during that time i also dont even care about reading and writing and both of them were the toughest things for me.During my primary school one teacher even said to me that i would not succeed in my life (I take it as a positive provocation to motivate me more.Alhamdulillah Allah gives me a good mom that helps me with extra support in my learning.
Recently I read many article about learning behaviour and got to know that this kind of behaviour is called dyslexia. It's a learning disability not actually affecting IQ (wIKIPEDIA- not a good source, ok i did read some books)
So when i compare with what these children are experiencing, the symptoms of dyslexia is prevalent on them. They dont like to read, writing a word upside down and always daydreaming about breakdance (Some of them not all. the others may need some boosters).
I changed my teaching method for last week's class. instead of Input (reading) without output, i put a video ticket as the output. they like braekdance so much, so i gave them breakdance.Don worry i chose the one with decent clothing of course.
Alhamdulillah it works. The conclusion is I'm not fit to be a teacher. nah...actually i have a message to all teachers in malaysia. please dioagnose your student for dyslexia.they may be a lazy student but they just need extra efforts in everything. and to do that they need your support.
To sum up
I don't know what to sum up because everyone gets different view point from situations above. For me that's what i called love. love is when you happy to give and receive(Whether what you may receive is good or bad you still happy). And those teachers out there (Everyone who teach is a teacher) be happy, you have this love quality IN YOU.
Finally i would like to wish happy engagement for those who will getting engage soon.
For those who's going to get married, barakallahufeekum.
For those who planning to get a divorce. please dont do that.
Spread the love to the world......Halal way yo
