Salam...
I was so excited when I know my son, Naim involved in Christmas Act in his nursery. Almaklumlah, he has speech problem and currently seeing speech therapist. I encouraged him to practice at home.
Then, 'abang angkat' came to our house last Friday and asked what type of story that Naim going to play. Aku pun tak tanya dia cerita apa... maklumlah, kalau aku tanya dia... dia pun tak berapa pandai nak jawab... dia ada speech problem... selalunya Naim cuma akan cakap... 'I become a sheep and I am going to sing a lot of song'
At home, he usually sing baa baa black sheep, santa clause, humpty dumpty and fews more song that are all usual nursery ryhme.
That abang angkat said 'make sure its not Nativity story, and if it is about the how the jesus birth and etc... then, he better pull out from the act'
Aku pun yang agak excited, tetiba ternganga... why? why? kenapa aku boleh tak terfikir pasal nie... Alhamdulillah ada orang yang ingat-mengingati di sini.
Last monday, I went to see his teacher.
Teacher tanya 'Aku agama apa?'
aku jawab 'I'm Muslim'. suddenly she said, 'Don't worry. A lot of other muslim children are involve as well.'
Then, I requested in mannered way regarding the story and what song they are going to sing... antara lagu yang disebut... semuanya.. lagu2 nursery ryhme tue laa... cuma ada satu yang aku tak berapa suka... lagu 'baby jesus'... and the act is about the navinity but NO dialogues involved only nursery rhymes...aku pun buat2 tak terkejut...
On that day, I just knew my daughter also involved and she's going to be a STAR in the navinity story.
On the way home, I was puzzled. Both children are involved....
Suddenly, I heard Najwa (my daughter) sang a song 'baby, baby jesus' ada lah 2-3 baris lagi dan astik ulang2... aku pon tak faham ayat dia... Terbeliak mata aku dengar. Tetiba rasa macam kena PELEMPANG ngan mak aku... Aduh!! sakitnya... baru aku tersedar...
Then, I discussed with my husband. Should Naim pull out from the act. urrrmmm.... ???
Then, after few calling2 and ask opinions from Ustaz2 di Dundee ni, depa kata : 'diorang boleh involve, cuma kena pastikan takde pergerakan2 yang menyembah, dan pesan selalu kat anak-anak, lagu tu tak elok untuk nyanyi, cuma nyanyi kat sekolah aje' macam gitulah ustaz tu cakap... lebih kurang...
As a mother, I still feel guilty. At the age of 3, Christian has started to teach all those things to their children. tapi Islam to be specific melayu di Malaysia pun sepatutnya kena rajin-rajin baca cerita kisah-nabi-nabi kepada anak2-anak. For me, maybe my kids dont really understand all those story, but if every year the school going to repeat it to our children then, they will undertsand.
Paling mengejutkab bila aku dengar cerita ada salah seorang anak Melayu disini yang parent dia dah 4 thn menetap di Dundee,dia dah berumur 6 thn, cakap pada ibu dia 'banyak sangatlah peraturan, itu tak boleh, ini tak boleh, saya nak masuk kristian lah... '
So, fikir-fikirkanlah... buat peringatan untuk aku sebagai ibu juga. So, marilah kita ajar anak2 kita selawat-selawat dan lagu-lagu yang baik...
