Family Hierarchy
Sharifah Aini binti Syed Jaafar was a singer in Malaysia. On July 2, 1953, she was born in
Hospital Sultanah Aminah in Johor Bahru. She was born to Syed Jaafar bin Syed Sahil al-Jufri and
Sharifah Noor binti Syed Ahmad Al-Attas, and she has seven siblings. Sharifah Aini was a
descendant of Pahang's "Raja Bendahara Sri Majaraja," Tun Mutahir Tun Ali (1813-1863).
Sharifah Aini was reared by her grandparents in Kampung Majidee, Johor Bahru, to be sent to an
Arabic religious school and taught the holy words of the Al-Quran when she was young. Sharifah
Aini was already well-known as a toddler for assisting her grandmother in selling various baked
pastries across Johor.

She attended Sekolah Menengah Sultan Ismail in Johor throughout her adolescence. She became
well-known as a result of her singing abilities. She was asked to sing at events hosted by her
school. She was invited to sing not just for her school, but also for other schools in Johor,
including Sekolah Menengah Sultan Ismail Ibrahim Girl School, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan
Engku Tun Aminah, and the prominent Sekolah Menengah Tun Fatimah, at events sponsored by
them. Furthermore, because she was a superb vocalist, she was invited to sing at weddings and
opening events. Sharifah Aini intended to follow her ambitions of singing after high school, but
she also wanted to pursue a profession in medicine. In the end, she picked singing as her career
path because she believed it would be the greatest way for her to relieve parental burden.

early education

Figure 5: Everyone must have their own early education, as well as National Singer Datuk Sharifah Aini binti
Picture of Sharifah Aini when 3 years old Syed Jaafar. She also has Early Education which started when she was 7 years old.

Education can be defined as the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge,
developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others
intellectually for mature life. It also can be defined as the act or process of imparting or acquiring
particular knowledge or skills, as for a profession. However, Early education can be defined as Early
education received. For example, education that gain from kindergarten or preschool while still
young.

The narrowness of life usually restricts children's opportunities to continue their education in school.
This problem is also what plagued Sharifah Aini when she was a child. She went through a very
painful life. While other peers are busy at home deepening their knowledge, she is busy outside her
house selling the foods. However, she still got the opportunity to study. Despite not being able to
continue her studies up to a higher level, that is not an obstacle for Sharifah Aini and at the same
time changes the fate of her family.

6 MSII 2022

Figure 6: Like other children, Sharifah Aini's father and mother never neglected religious knowledge.
Sekolah Agama Al-Attas, Wadihana, Johor Sharifah Aini's parents do not want their children to be raised without adequate religious
education. As early as the age of seven he received her education at a Malay school near her
Figure 7: home. At the same time, she was also sent to the Arabic language school, Sekolah Agama
Sekolah Menengah Sultan Ismail, Johor Bahru Al-Attas, Wadihana, Johor in the afternoon. Later, Sharifah Aini had the opportunity to
further her studies at Sekolah Menengah Sultan Ismail in Johor Bahru. Unfortunately, she
could not continue her studies to form three because the financial problems that plagued her
family were quite painful. Even so, Sharifah Aini never regretted it. She realized there
might be some hidden wisdom behind the allegation.

Seeing other peers happy with the world of school, Sharifah Aini's heart ached and
occasionally touched by the memory of her future which may be blurred. But she continued
to be reassured by her harness and mother. They always give encouragement and confidence
to their beloved princess that one day a new ray will incarnate in her as well. Far away from
the world of school, but Sharifah Aini has an advantage that is unmatched by any of her
friends. Sharifah Aini has a softness of voice that no one else has. When she was in primary
school, Sharifah Aini had finished the Quran five times.

Figure 8: Ustazah Zubaidah, Ustaz Sulaiman and Ustaz Mohd Zain were among the teachers responsible for guiding
Sharifah Aini fully dressed for primary school Sharifah Aini to deepen her study of the Quran. It was during this time that her mother often kept wishing to
see Sharifah Aini succeed as a ustazah. Although at the same time Sharifah Aini showed interest in the field
of music art, but from her mouth she often did not escape from mentioning her hope to see Sharifah Aini
succeed in the field of religion. Of course, her mother's dreams and the reality of real life that Sharifah Aini
went through are as different as heaven and earth. But her mother's memory and words always played in
Sharifah Aini's mind. She said, "in our lives, religion should be the mainstay."

Sharifah Aini's children's world in the field of religion is indeed quite brilliant. Sharifah Aini won the
championship 10 times in the Johor State School Level Tilawah al-Quran competition. Apart from that, she
also dominated the Al-Attas Religious School and Arabic School Lecture Competition in Johor Bahru seven
times. This excellence also makes Sharifah Aini's name continue to be the pride of many. She is known
throughout his village. In fact, his name is always on the lips of friends in the village.

Despite his popularity, he remained humble. At that time, Sharifah Aini often reminded herself not to forget
herself from time to time. Sharifah Aini said she was determined to change the fate of her family. she did not
want herself and her family to continue to be squeezed by poverty. In any case, she doesn’t want to
disappoint the two parents who take care of her who are also like ‘life’ for her.

Broery Marantika and Sharifah Aini –
Sharifah Aini plans to pursue a career in the music industry when she graduates from high school. Apart from being
Seiring dan Sejalan interested in singing, Sharifah also aspired to pursue a doctorate. However, she finally chose the path to the field of
singing because that was the best way to ease the burden of his grandfather to support their lives which were very
difficult at that time. Sharifah Aini's artistic career began when she entered the RTS Star singing competition in
Singapore in 1968 with a song titled "Three Nights" and was crowned the "RTS Star Champion" in 1968. After her

Indonesia, as well as in the United States. At the time, Lagu Seri Dewi Malam had established herself as a popular idol performer. When Sharifah was being mentored by
Datuk Ahmad Nawab, a well-known composer, her abilities were immediately apparent. The song written for her by Ahmad Nawab has proven to be extremely
successful in the music business as well as among Sharifah Aini fans as a whole.

Sharifah also has a large number of appearances and has performed in various large concerts in countries around Asia and the Middle East, including Kuwait. She also
has a diverse group of admirers of all ethnicities and ages. In 1976, she sang a duet with Broery Marantika, Indonesia's No. 1 recording artist at the time. They have

business. After more than 30 years in the entertainment industry, she has expanded her horizons to include the business world as well.

after completing her 100th record, was tremendously enthusiastic and performed all of her
songs with her typical soaring and passionate voice and delicacy.

Sharifah stated that her retirement did not imply she would stop singing forever. "They
say if you're a singer once, you're a singer forever." "I enjoy singing since it is what I do
best,” she explained. By retirement Sharifah Aini meant by she will keep a quiet profile
while her juniors take center stage. The performance, according to Sharifah, is a warm-up
for a huge event at the end of next year. She intends to hold around 20 performances

According to Yeoh, A. (2014, July 10). Sharifah Aini
declared her unofficial retirement in 2003, at the age
of 50, claiming the best interests of her sole son Aliff
Omar Ali as the reason. She did not want to put her
son under any strain because he was set to become a
"Pendakwah" as soon as he returned from his
university in Medina, while she continued to sing
publicly. In 2006, she released her final album,
Timeless, and was awarded the title Biduanita
Negara (National Artiste) for her long-term
