Teaching Quranic moral at home: the morality of self-1 (hygiene)

To teach Quranic morality in children, the aim is not to make the children memorize certain Quran verse about cleanliness, or to be able to read it. 
The main purpose of teaching Quranic moral in children, is to get children to keep her heart and his behavior to keep it in accordance with the Quran. Of course we have to start from the easiest.
 Insyaallah, by teaching children, you also will inspire all people involved with the child.No need to force other to follow/showing it. Simply by let them see your own child's learning process, and then when they ask and are interested, please explain.

Throughout our experience, the most effective way to instill morality of the Qur'an are:


  1. model. So parents have to adopt these habits first, and the child will follow you (or anyone of you who intend to start, can be a brother, etc.)
  2. continuous. So you have to make it you and the child habit
  3. provide appropriate verse at the right time ('give personal asbabun nuzul')
  4. prepare the correct argument (according to verse's interpretation, and is always associated with rahman and rahim of God) 
  5. not pushy, patronizing,  invite them. (Always insert the word 'Lets' and the like)

The selected verses (at method Rumah Qurani) in applying personal hygiene is
  1. Tauba at 108, part (والله يحب المطهرين) Allah loves those who are clean.
  2. al mudatstsir 4 parts (وثيابك فطهر) and clean your clothes
Tips to teach these two verses at home
To infants or baby, you can start by speaking to him and mentioned it. Toddler, could be involved with our activities.
  1. (Verse at Tauba 108) Every time a child asked a shower, say 'Lets bath. if we do not bathe, we will itch. Allah love you, and He didn't want you become itchy and cant sleep well .So, Allah tell us (quote the verse) Every time you wash her/his hands, cut her/his nails, etc., related to that ayat again. If you know RumahQurani method, then practice the body language
  2. (Verse al mudatstsir 4) Every time you wash your clothes, involve the children. Say 'let's wash our clothes. If clothes are not washed, and we use them, it will smell bad, and can even be damaged. What if your Barbie skirt  (mention your child's fave clothes) smell bad and damaged? Its a pity isnt it? Our bodies can also be itchy if we use dirty clothes. So Allah tell us to (practice verse with method rumahqurani / by mentioning only)
  3. If you involve your children in washing clothes with hands, give one of the smallest laundry to wash by her own. When using a machine, let the children help by pouring detergent and pushing the buttons.
  4. Occasionally, read out the matching tale / fable with the verse, or a tale at the handbook rumahqurani about this verse
  5. When children lie / to see other people lie / accused (this is the most thing that clearly understood by a child), remind piece of verse (at Tauba 108) say. Do you know exactly what you/ that person is saying? Try to remember again, which is it? (Anyway, the problem has to be straightened out first). After that: Do you know, lie / accuse other people's is litter your heart, and make it dirty. Remember that Allah likes people who clean right? Our hearts should also be maintained to keep clean. Let us clean with istigfar. Astagfirullah .. Well, now we have to say sorry to the same people who we lied to / we accuse it / Now we invite man that to apologize and istigfar. -match with the event- 
We hope it useful. :)
