"Why do you have to pray?"
"Because.. I am Muslim,"
"Why did you have to wear that long that (telekung)?"
"Because, I need to cover my hand, my foot, my body while I'm praying,"
"Why you have to use that mat (sejadah),"
"I don't really have to, but this area isn't clean,"
"Can I see you pray?"
"Sure, but I need you to promise me one thing. Don't ask me because I can't speak to you while I pray,"
"Okay. I will wait,"
Just finished.
"Why you keep on repeating bend down and kiss the floor?"
"It is the steps of my praying,"
"Why do you talk to your hand (doa)?"
"No. I'm not talking to my hand, that's the way how I do it when I ask god something after praying,"
"What is that?"
"I ask for the good things to happen to me, my family, my friends,"
"Do you ask to be rich?"
"Well, not really rich but enough. Enough food, enough money, enough love,"
"But I don't see god, daddy has in front of him. So where is god?"
"I don't...."
Really close to say something stupid to a clever little girl.
"I can't see HIM, but He knows and I believe HE is near, right in my heart. You know what Tash,"
"What?"
"We need to have faith,"

Be careful for whatever you say, especially... kids. Their thinking, imagination, god knows.

They say kids and dogs are the best judge of character.
And while at it, you should have asked the girl if she feels that there is a higher being, a creator. Interesting to note what she would have said. Could the kid instead be an angel?
Que sera sera
But guys you must remember these simple words:
With great power, comes great responsibility
