The day that has passed in the midst of the excitement of Eid al-Adha, my heart is filled with infinite gratitude there was a moment looking at my child's sincere smile playing together at home, hearing his laughter so cheerfully when he woke up starting to grow up made me realize how lucky I am to be a father there are simple moments like this that are the most beautiful treasures in my life.

The story at that time began with Eid al-Adha prayers in congregation at the mosque near the house on a bright morning, the roar of takbir echoing, and the faces of Muslims full of happiness showed how special today I returned from the mosque, I was greeted by my children who were still very young who had prepared themselves with their best clothes there is something happier for a father than just seeing his children grow in joy and affection.

During the day, we enjoyed a special dish of sacrificial meat, the dining table was full of various delicious dishes of rendang, curry and many more, the children ate with gusto, occasionally joking around fighting over their favorite pieces of meat, my wife and I could only smile, feeling that all our hard work had paid off after seeing their happiness.

After eating, we continued our activities by sharing stories, playing board games, and watching their mother's favorite family films, using each other, I felt this was the most beautiful moment when technology could not replace the warmth of direct interaction.

When night came, my children were still excited even though their eyes were starting to get sleepy, trying to hold back their sleepiness just to continue enjoying this togetherness when it was time to sleep, I took them to their room, read them short stories, and listened to their funny chatter

My children, who usually fall asleep immediately after lying down, were still enthusiastic tonight telling me about everything about how much fun it was to play with my children, about the delicious food they ate, let alone about their plans tomorrow, I just watched patiently, enjoying every second of this togetherness.

When finally they fell asleep I sat beside their bed, looking at their innocent faces that were so calm in silence I prayed that Allah would continue to protect them sharing health, happiness, and blessings in every step of my child's life making a place of worship for me in terms of being responsible for everything with my family at home.

I am a father, I realize that the past is so fleeting today is still small, tomorrow will grow up moments like Eid al-Adha are the most beautiful gifts that cannot be repeated I learned that true happiness is not always about big things sometimes it lies in simple things my child's laughter a warm hug before going to bed, or simply watching them sleep soundly after a day full of joy.

I also realized that as a parent, my biggest task is not only to fulfill their module needs, but also to ensure that their childhood is filled with beautiful memories of memories of family that are always there, of fathers and mothers who love them without conditions, of a home that always feels warm and safe.

And full of gratitude tonight before I go to bed I express my gratitude to Allah for all His blessings for health, sustenance, and happiness that He has shared with my family. I hope that in the coming years, we will still be given the opportunity to celebrate Eid al-Adha with joy like today for fathers out there, enjoy every second with our children, they are growing faster than we think. Their laughter today could be a memory that you will miss very much in the future.

Happy Eid al-Adha to all. Hopefully happiness and blessings will continue to accompany our family. Amen, O Lord of the Universe..
