Brilio.net - The birth of a child is one of the happiest moments for parents. Especially for a father, the moment his baby is born certainly makes his heart flutter.
Usually the father will accompany his wife who is struggling to risk her life in the process of giving birth to their child. After the baby is born, the father usually prays for the child. In Islam, usually the child will receive the call to prayer in both ears.
However, in reality not all fathers can be ready to be on standby when their child is born. There are times when the father is in another place or even in another part of the world, either because of work or other assignments.
This was experienced by Praka Hengki Saputra, who could not be by his second daughter's side when she was born last Sunday (5/5). In the video uploaded by the Instagram account @puspentni, a moment of emotion and happiness was felt when Hengki gave the call to prayer to his daughter via video call.

Hengki had a strong reason why he was not there beside his wife who was struggling to give birth. He, who is a TNI soldier, is also struggling to carry out a big mission.
It is known that Praka Hengki is one of the many Peacekeepers who are members of the Garuda Contingent XXXVII-J Minusca Car Engineer Company Task Force. He is tasked with maintaining peace in the Central African Republic.
"A very happy scene occurred when Praka Hengki gave the call to prayer via video call to his second newborn child to carry out the sunnah of the Prophet for Muslims with the aim that the baby born would receive protection from Allah SWT," wrote the statement uploaded by @puspentni, quoted by brilio.net , Tuesday (7/5).

Wearing a black uniform and cap, Hengki looked solemn and said the call to prayer to the princess with great gratitude. While holding his cell phone, he looked happily at the appearance of his second daughter who had just been born in good health.
"Congratulations on the birth of Praka Hengki Saputra's second daughter, I hope she will be a pious child who will be devoted to her parents and will be useful for her religion, nation and state, Amen," said Dansatgas Kizi TNI XXXVII-J Minusca Car Lt. Col. Czi Ibnu Muntaha in the upload statement.
