Brilio.net - One of the traditions carried out by many Muslims in Indonesia is the grave pilgrimage. This activity is to pray for elders, parents and relatives who have died by visiting their graves. Grave pilgrimages are often carried out, especially before Ramadan or during Eid al-Fitr.
Usually, children and grandchildren are also invited to the grave to pray. This is because praying for pious children is an unending practice for a Muslim or Muslim woman when she dies according to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Well, recently on social media a video of a grave pilgrimage went viral. The reason is, the video shows an unusual moment. Uploaded by the owner of the TikTok account @ubed507, in the video you can see the tomb complex which is busy with pilgrims. They came to pray and tidy up the graves of their families and relatives who had preceded them.
Then a small child was seen who appeared to be under five years old (toddler). He was seen reciting the Koran while squatting on the edge of the grave.

Usually, pilgrims who come bring Yasin books or the Koran to read to elders or people who are buried. Apparently, the boy really wanted to read a prayer for his beloved grandfather who had died but he was still learning Iqra.
Like an adult who is intently reciting the Koran, the boy read line after line in the Iqra with full concentration.

When the father who was nearby was heard reading Yasin's letter, the child immediately opened the Iqra and read it. The atmosphere at the grave was so sweet and very warm.
