👲Raising kids with akhlaq (good character) is worship—the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best among you are those best in manners." (Bukhari). Here’s how to make it joyful and meaningful for kids!
𒃚
1. Daily "Manners Du’a" (1 Minute)
Teach short, rhyming supplications:
Before eating: "Allahumma barik lana fi ma razaqtana!" ("O Allah, bless what You’ve given us!")
When angry: "A’udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem!" ("I seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan!")
Make it fun: Act out the du’a with hand motions!
2. "Prophet’s Manners" Story Time (5 Minutes)
Tell mini-stories with actions:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) always smiled—let’s practice smiling at each other!"
"He never interrupted—let’s pretend to wait our turn to speak!"
Use puppets or toys to act out scenarios (e.g., sharing toys = sadaqah).
3. "Adab Adventure" Chart (Visual & Rewarding)
Create a sticker chart for:
✅ Saying "Bismillah" before tasks
✅ Helping clean up (Sunnah of cleanliness!)
✅ Speaking kindly (no yelling!)
Reward: Small treats or extra Quran story time.
4. "Salah Manners" Practice (Playful & Short)
Pretend prayer with stuffed animals (teach focus + humility).
Whisper game: "Can you pray without moving like a tree?"
Pretend prayer with stuffed animals (teach focus + humility).
Whisper game: "Can you pray without moving like a tree?"
5. Gratitude Jar (Islamic Twist)
Write/draw blessings on paper:
"Alhamdulillah for my family!"
"Shukran for yummy food!"
Read aloud every Friday—link to Surah Ibrahim 14:7 ("If you are grateful, I will increase you").
Key Tip: Lead by Example!
Kids mimic what they see. Say "JazakAllah khair" often, and they’ll copy you!
