Video Sajak Kematian ; Should or Shouldn’t?

Salam and hello all. If you watch Buletin Utama on TV3 in these few days, you might noticed that the current hot news now is not about isu penceraian Norman Hakim and Abby Abadi but about the video called Sajak Kematian that has been showed to a group of primary school students. Honestly, I already watched this video about months ago when my mom found it on Youtube. My youngest brother of me who currently in standard 4 also has watched this video. Although my youngest brother can accept such video positively, but for other kids especially primary school students, we can’t do the assumption that they can accept it. What I just want to highlight is, this kind of video should be reconsider to be presented to primary school students. Why I’m saying that? Here are some of my personal points of view regarding the effects of showing this kind of video to a young student:

A Beautiful Story

This is a story for Muslim readers..
An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Qur’an.
His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa,I try to read the Qur’an just like you but I don’t understand it,and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur’an do?”The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home.Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.You’re just not trying hard enough,”and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.
At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house.The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.Out of breath, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“So you think it is useless?” The oldman said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.
“Son, that’s what happens when you read the Qur’an.You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will bechanged, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.”
Jazakallahukhairankathira….
“It is better to try and fail, than not try at all”
