One of the most practical ways a child can show respect for their host is by being mindful of the space they are in. As Muslim parents, we often find ourselves reminding our children to tidy up after they play at a friend’s house. Wise Compass helps children internalise this responsibility by teaching that cleanliness and order are parts of our faith. Our Islamic stories for kids illustrate that being a helpful guest who leaves a place as good as they found it is a way to show gratitude and respect, which is beloved to Allah Almighty. 

Our faith-friendly story platform uses relatable scenarios to show the impact of leaving a mess versus the beauty of being helpful. Through values-based reading, children learn that their actions in someone else’s home are an Amanah. In stories like Learning in the Garden, the theme of responsibility and care is emphasized, which can be applied to any environment. By following the organised and considerate example of holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, children are encouraged to be proactive in their tidiness. We want children to feel that their helpfulness is a form of Khidmah, or service, that brings Barakah into their social lives. Wise Compass provides the emotional motivation for children to clean up without being asked. This builds their social-emotional learning and sense of duty. By making tidiness an attractive and heroic trait, we help children develop a habit of respect that makes them welcome guests in any home. They learn that by taking care of their surroundings, they are reflecting the values of the noble Quran and building a reputation for being thoughtful and reliable.
