Lesson learnt from a 10 year old

We have been trying to ensure the cuties really focus in class hence trying this new strategy where during our way home we will ask them what did they learn in school that day complete with the interrogations part. Studies show if revisions are done within 24 hours from the time the subjects are learned, chances of 70% absorption rate may occur. So far, after over a month, this work fine, alhamdulilah.

But, this is not the main reason for my entry. Yesterday, while doing the same routine, my hero was telling what he learnt during Agama class. He said he was thought Rukun Iman and that day was focusing on Percaya Kepada Qadha' dan Qadar(though I have to repeatedly correct his pronouciation for the word Qadha'). When I asked him to elaborate further and this was his explanation.

"Kita kena percaya ketentuan(yup, he was using this word) Allah. Kita kena redha pada takdir dan percaya ada hikmah di sebalik semua kejadian. Kita kena bersyukur dan berusaha kalau nak jadik yang terbaik. Macam Mama selalu ingatkan abang, jangan putus asa. Jadik, kalau kita gagal, kita kena cuba lagik dan tak boleh give up".

Allah works His way in many forms. And I take that He is trying to show me as much as I feel my predicament which I am currently going through is big and difficult, I should never ever give up. And to redha though things may not work my way.

I have been cascading and instilling this positive attitude to my cuties and yet I am the one who need this more for myself.

And a 10 year old boy(whom I love so very much) has to be the one telling me this!
