Conclusion
In conclusion of this paper,
I want to bring attention to the audience gentleman. The
words of children in the Arabic language is referred to
as al-tifl (1 لطفل) derived from the word tafula (طفل)
which means a soft, fragile and sensitive. The purpose
behind it made sense that a
child should
be cared for, nurtured and educated with neat, precise
and perfect view of nature that are susceptible to
environmental hazards are not only worried about damage
that will befall the body physically and even aspects
other very well be of concern.

In dealing with the good practices of the west,
we often saw or were aware of western society
generally prudent approach in the form of
conduct and discipline for the
children.
It's like they have a culture, caressing,
hugging and kissing the children. Right now so
many hadiths and recommendations of scholars who
mention the importance of educating children
with patience and gentleness. But the reality
prevailing in Muslim societies today, punishing
the perpetrators are often
children
with emotional and far from educational. |
Imam Al-Ghazali
had mercy said, "certainly our
children are
precious." In talking about their children's education
is a matter we need to understand that teaching is an
art that comes from the soul of the fine and creative
thinking. A creative and artistic soul would not be born
of the hard and rough that met personally feel
irritation triggered by emotional upset and loss of
intellectual consideration. Love is the most important
element in the process of educating. Criticism and
advice is born from the spark of love will melt the
hardened hearts instead highlighting the roughness and
anger will freeze gentle soul. What more when the front
of our children
who are white, are going to learn anything in the
environment through observation, which will mimic the
qudwah further highlighted by the habit of applying the
learning outcomes.
This is
also the reform should be done by Muslims in educating
children. Go
back and consult the practice of the Prophet, his
companions and scholars in shaping and educating
generations. Children's education in the early stages of
age-based integrative approach as recommended should be
implemented. In his book Al Muqaddimah, Ibn Khaldun
reminds educators by calling: "... Verily the violence
in educating the bad effects to people who are educated,
more so for children.
Who taught the ways of violence and coercion, it will be
straitened and mind and soul and the son was lost
intelligence, lazy, carried away the lies and bad
behavior ... "
