“Mengenal niat, tata cara, dan makna ibadah sejak dini dalam suasana menyenangkan”
Siswa dan siswi SDI Al Azhar 46 GDC mengikuti kegiatan simulasi sholat tarawih di Masjid Al Muiz, didampingi oleh guru-guru mereka. Kegiatan ini diselenggarakan sebagai bagian dari program pembiasaan ibadah dan pendidikan karakter, dengan tujuan menanamkan pemahaman tentang niat, tata cara sholat, dan makna ibadah sejak dini.
Acara dimulai dengan sholat dhuha berjamaah. Para guru memberikan pengarahan tentang niat sholat serta adab dan tata cara pelaksanaannya. Anak-anak, yang sudah hafal bacaan sholat, mengikuti setiap gerakan dengan tertib dan khusyuk. Guru-guru menjelaskan secara singkat makna setiap gerakan dan bacaan, sehingga anak-anak memahami bahwa sholat bukan hanya gerakan fisik, tetapi juga ibadah hati dan pikiran. Suasana masjid terasa tertib dan menyenangkan, dengan barisan anak-anak rapi dan fokus pada ibadah.
Setelah sholat dhuha, guru memberikan penjelasan singkat tentang niat puasa dan makna ibadah Ramadan. Anak-anak belajar bahwa setiap ibadah memiliki tujuan, dan memahami niat sebelum beribadah adalah bagian penting dari pengamalan ajaran Islam. Penjelasan ini disampaikan secara sederhana namun mendalam, sehingga anak-anak dapat menyerap makna ibadah dengan mudah.
Kegiatan berlanjut dengan simulasi sholat tarawih berjamaah. Anak-anak langsung mengikuti imam di depan secara serentak, melakukan gerakan mulai dari takbiratul ihram, ruku’, sujud, duduk di antara dua sujud, hingga salam. Guru-guru mendampingi dari sisi barisan, memastikan anak-anak melakukan gerakan dengan benar, memahami niat sholat tarawih, dan menghayati setiap bacaan. Anak-anak tampak antusias, namun tetap tertib dan fokus, menunjukkan kedisiplinan yang dibina oleh sekolah sejak dini.
Selain praktik gerakan, guru juga memberikan penekanan pada pemahaman bacaan dan maknanya. Misalnya, anak-anak diajak memahami arti doa qunut atau bacaan ruku’ dan sujud, sehingga mereka tidak hanya menghafal tapi juga mengerti makna ibadah mereka. Dengan cara ini, simulasi sholat tarawih menjadi pengalaman belajar yang utuh: menggabungkan hafalan, praktik, dan pemahaman.
Kegiatan diakhiri dengan doa bersama dan motivasi dari guru-guru agar siswa-siswi terus menjaga kedisiplinan dalam ibadah. Anak-anak diingatkan untuk selalu melaksanakan sholat tarawih dan puasa dengan penuh kesadaran, menanamkan nilai konsistensi dan tanggung jawab sejak usia dini.
Melalui kegiatan ini, SDI Al Azhar 46 GDC menekankan pentingnya pemahaman niat, tata cara, dan makna ibadah. Anak-anak tidak hanya berlatih gerakan sholat, tetapi juga memahami hakikat ibadah, membangun disiplin, konsentrasi, dan kecintaan terhadap sholat berjamaah. Kegiatan seperti ini menjadi bukti nyata komitmen sekolah dalam membentuk generasi muda yang berakhlak mulia, taat beribadah, dan siap menghadapi ibadah Ramadan dengan semangat dan kesadaran penuh.

Learning Tarawih Prayer: Joyful and Disciplined with SDI Al Azhar 46 GDC
“Understanding intentions, procedures, and the meaning of worship from an early age in a fun atmosphere”
Students of SDI Al Azhar 46 GDC participated in a Tarawih prayer simulation at Masjid Al Muiz, accompanied by their teachers. This activity is part of the school’s program to instill worship habits and character education, aiming to teach students about prayer intentions, proper procedures, and the meaning of worship from an early age.
The program began with Dhuha prayer in congregation. Teachers guided the students on the prayer’s intention (niyyah), as well as proper etiquette and movements. The students, who already memorized the prayer recitations, performed each movement calmly and attentively. Teachers explained the meaning of each posture and recitation, helping students understand that prayer is not only about physical actions but also a heartfelt, mindful act of worship. The mosque was filled with a peaceful yet cheerful atmosphere, with neat rows of students focused on their prayers.
After Dhuha, teachers provided a short explanation about the intention of fasting and the significance of Ramadan worship. Students learned that every act of worship has a purpose, and understanding the intention before performing it is an essential part of practicing Islam. These explanations were delivered in a simple yet meaningful way, so students could grasp the essence of their worship.
The activity continued with a Tarawih prayer simulation in congregation. Students followed the imam at the front, performing movements from takbiratul ihram, bowing (ruku’), prostration (sujud), sitting between two prostrations, to salam—all in unison. Teachers walked alongside the rows to ensure correct movements, proper recitation, and understanding of the intention of Tarawih prayer. Students participated with enthusiasm while maintaining discipline and focus, reflecting the school’s early emphasis on structured, meaningful worship.
In addition to movements, teachers emphasized understanding the meaning of the recitations. For example, students learned the significance of the qunut supplication and the words of ruku’ and sujud, helping them not only memorize but also comprehend the essence of their prayers. This approach made the Tarawih simulation a complete learning experience, combining memorization, practice, and understanding.
The session concluded with a dua and encouragement from teachers for students to continue practicing worship consistently at home. Students were reminded to perform Tarawih prayers and fasting with mindfulness, fostering discipline and responsibility from an early age.
Through this activity, SDI Al Azhar 46 GDC emphasizes the importance of understanding intentions, prayer procedures, and the meaning of worship. Students are trained not only in physical prayer movements but also in appreciating the essence of worship, developing discipline, focus, and love for congregational prayers. Activities like this demonstrate the school’s commitment to nurturing young generations with strong character, piety, and readiness to embrace Ramadan worship with full awareness and devotion
