Bedtime song - Sepohon kayu

Another memorable song, called "Sepohon kayu". Do you know that a lot of good things should be taught while they are in semi-conscious state, a stage just before they asleep. This is just one way how to build a strong base for a good muslim, as early as 3-4 years old. Why 3-4 years old? Because this is the stage where they are still not utilizing their full conscious mind capabilities and , and semi-conscious mind proven to be more effective in parenting your child. Sorry I could not find and reference to this, but I have read it somewhere. Well, its our children and it's up to us how to raise them, and for a moslem, there are clear guidelines to follow, God willing. "Anak-anak dilahirkan untuk berjaya, janganlah kita(ibubapa) menggagalkan mereka" - Datuk Dr Fadzilah Kamsah



Sepohon kayu, daunnya rimbun
Lebat bunganya serta buahnya
Walaupun hidup seribu tahun
Kalau tak sembahyang apa gunanya

Kami bekerja sehari-hari
Untuk belanja rumah sendiri
Walaupun hidup seribu tahun
Kalau tak sembahyang apa gunanya

Kami sembahyang fardu sembahyang
Sunatpun ada bukan sembarang
Supaya Allah menjadi sayang
Kami bekerja hatilah riang

Kami sembahyang limalah waktu
Siang dan malam sudahlah tentu
Hidup dikubur yatim piatu
Tinggalah seorang dipukul dipalu

Dipukul dipalu sehari-hari
Barulah dia sedarkan diri
Hidup didunia tiada berarti
Akhirat disana sangatlah rugi
