Azan & Tahnik Bayi Baru Lahir: Cara, Doa & HikmahAdhan & Tahnik for a Newborn: How, the Du'a & Wisdom

Antara amalan sunnah yang paling awal menyambut kehadiran seorang bayi Muslim ialah azan & iqamah di telinganya, dan tahnik — menyapu manisan kurma ke lelangitnya. Betapa indahnya hikmah Islam: suara pertama yang menyapa pendengaran seorang anak bukanlah bunyi dunia, tetapi kalimah tauhid — pengakuan bahawa tiada Tuhan melainkan Allah. Panduan ringkas ini menghuraikan cara, doa dan hikmah kedua-dua sunnah tersebut. Ia sebahagian daripada panduan lengkap kami — Sunnah Menyambut Kelahiran Bayi: Panduan Islam Lengkap. Among the earliest sunnah acts that welcome a Muslim baby are the adhan & iqamah in the ears, and tahnik — rubbing a softened date onto the palate. How beautiful is the wisdom of Islam: the first sound to greet a child's hearing is not the noise of the world, but the kalimah tauhid — the testimony that there is no god but Allah. This concise guide explains the method, du'a and wisdom of both sunnahs. It is part of our complete guide — Sunnah of Welcoming a Newborn: A Complete Islamic Guide.

Azan & Iqamah untuk BayiAdhan & Iqamah for the Baby

Sunnah mengazankan bayi berdalilkan perbuatan Rasulullah SAW terhadap cucunda Baginda, Al-Hasan bin Ali R.A. Diriwayatkan daripada Ibnu Abbas R.A.: The sunnah of calling the adhan for a newborn is grounded in the Prophet's ﷺ act towards his grandson, Al-Hasan ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَذَّنَ فِي أُذُنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ، فَأَذَّنَ فِي أُذُنِهِ الْيُمْنَى، وَأَقَامَ فِي أُذُنِهِ الْيُسْرَى

"Nabi SAW azan di telinga Al-Hasan Bin Ali pada hari beliau dilahirkan; Baginda azan di telinga kanan dan iqamat di telinga kiri.""The Prophet ﷺ called the adhan in the ear of Al-Hasan ibn Ali on the day he was born; he called the adhan in his right ear and the iqamah in his left ear."

— Hadis riwayat Ibnu Abbas R.A.— Narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)

Cara MelakukannyaHow to Perform It

  1. Angkat bayi ke paras muka orang yang mengazankan.Lift the baby to the face level of the person giving the adhan.
  2. Hadapkan bayi ke arah kiblat.Turn the baby to face the qiblah.
  3. Laungkan azan perlahan di telinga kanan bayi.Call the adhan softly in the baby's right ear.
  4. Laungkan iqamah perlahan di telinga kiri bayi.Call the iqamah softly in the baby's left ear.

Amalan ini digalakkan dilakukan oleh si ayah (atau mana-mana lelaki). Namun ia turut dibenarkan dilakukan oleh ibu atau wanita sekiranya tiada lelaki yang hadir ketika itu — yang penting bayi mendengar kalimah tauhid seawal mungkin. This act is encouraged to be done by the father (or any man). It is also permitted for the mother or a woman to do it if no man is present at the time — what matters is that the baby hears the kalimah tauhid as early as possible.

Hikmah AzanThe Wisdom of the Adhan

💡 Mengapa Azan di Telinga Bayi?💡 Why the Adhan in a Baby's Ear?

1. Kalimah tauhid menjadi kalimah pertama yang meresap ke hati dan pendengaran anak — menanam asas keimanan pada saat pertama kehidupannya.
2. Syariat Islam mendahului ajakan syaitan yang sentiasa cuba menghampiri manusia sejak dilahirkan. 1. The kalimah tauhid becomes the first words to seep into the child's heart and hearing — planting the foundation of faith at the very first moment of life.
2. The teaching of Islam precedes the whispering of Shaytan, who constantly tries to approach a human from the moment of birth.

Tahnik: Sunnah Manisan PertamaTahnik: The First Sweetness Sunnah

Tahnik ialah amalan menyapu sedikit manisan — sebaik-baiknya kurma yang dilembutkan — ke lelangit bayi sejurus lahir. Ia sunnah yang jelas daripada perbuatan Rasulullah SAW. Daripada Abu Musa al-Asy'ari R.A., beliau berkata: Tahnik is the practice of rubbing a little sweetness — ideally a softened date — onto a newborn's palate soon after birth. It is a clear sunnah from the practice of the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

"Telah dilahirkan untukku seorang bayi lelaki, lalu aku membawanya kepada Nabi SAW; Baginda menamakannya Ibrahim, mentahniknya dengan sebiji kurma, mendoakan keberkatannya, lalu memulangkannya kepadaku.""A baby boy was born to me, so I brought him to the Prophet ﷺ; he named him Ibrahim, performed tahnik on him with a date, supplicated for blessings upon him, then returned him to me."

— Muttafaq ‘alayh — Sahih al-Bukhari (no. 5467) & Sahih Muslim (no. 2145) · daripada Abu Musa al-Asy’ari R.A.— Agreed upon — Sahih al-Bukhari (no. 5467) & Sahih Muslim (no. 2145) · from Abu Musa al-Ash’ari (R.A.)

Cara MentahnikHow to Perform Tahnik

  1. Kunyah kurma hingga lembut.Chew a date until soft.
  2. Letak sedikit di hujung jari.Place a little on your fingertip.
  3. Sapu lembut ke lelangit bayi, gerakkan ke kanan dan kiri sehingga rata.Gently rub it onto the baby's palate, moving right and left until evenly spread.
  4. Lakukan sambil berselawat dan mendoakan kebaikan untuk si kecil.Do it while sending salawat and supplicating for goodness for the little one.

Tahnik lebih baik dilakukan oleh orang yang soleh atau solehah, dan ia boleh dilakukan lebih daripada sekali. Jika tiada kurma, ia boleh diganti dengan sesuatu yang manis yang selamat untuk bayi. Tahnik is best done by a pious man or woman, and it may be performed more than once. If dates are unavailable, it may be replaced with something sweet that is safe for the baby.

Antara doa yang baik dibaca ketika mendoakan keberkatan untuk bayi ialah: Among the good du'a to recite when supplicating for the baby's blessing is:

اللَّهُمَّ فَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ، وَعَلِّمْهُ التَّأْوِيلَ

"Ya Allah, berikanlah dia kefahaman dalam agama dan ajarkanlah dia takwil.""O Allah, grant him understanding of the religion and teach him its interpretation (ta'wil)."

— Doa keberkatan untuk anak— A du'a of blessing for the child
