Perjuangan si Malika menghadapi puasa di bulan ramadhan
Malika, a curious 9-year-old girl in Indonesia, faces the challenge of fasting during Ramadan for the first time. She must navigate obstacles and learn the importance of honesty while striving to complete her fast.
Malika was excited for Ramadan, a special month where she would fast from dawn till dusk. But, she was also nervous about whether she could manage it. On the first day, Malika felt determined. She wanted to prove she could fast like her older siblings. But as the day went on, her stomach began to growl loudly.
As lunchtime approached, Malika's hunger grew stronger. She saw her favorite snacks on the kitchen counter. Her little brother, Rafi, entered the kitchen and asked, - Are you going to eat those? Malika shook her head, - No, I can't. I'm fasting. But the temptation was strong.
During the afternoon, Malika felt dizzy and weak. Her best friend, Aisyah, came over to play. - Do you want to play outside? Aisyah asked. - I can't, Malika replied, - I'm too tired from fasting. Aisyah looked concerned. - Maybe you should have a little snack, just to feel better. Malika knew it would be wrong, but she was really tempted.
By late afternoon, Malika felt like she couldn't continue. She sat on her bed, feeling defeated. - Maybe fasting isn't for me, she thought. Just then, her mother entered the room. - How are you feeling, dear? she asked. - I don't think I can do this, Malika admitted, tears welling up in her eyes.
Her mother smiled gently and said, - It's okay to feel this way. Fasting is hard, but it's also about being honest with yourself and others. Remember, it's not just about the hunger, but about learning patience and honesty. Malika thought about her mother's words and realized she had to be honest with herself. She decided to give it another try.
With renewed determination, Malika went back to the kitchen and sat with her family for iftar, the meal to break the fast. - You did it, Malika! her father exclaimed. Malika smiled proudly. - I almost gave up, but I learned that being honest and trying your best is what matters. Her family hugged her, and Malika felt a sense of accomplishment. She knew she could face any challenge with honesty and determination.
