Akhlaq · for grown-ups
One good manner, kept up for a week
How a manner works
- Inspire: a short story from everyday Singapore life, and how the people in it might feel.
- Investigate: three “What would you do?” situations, then a task: act it out together (Explorer) or ask a grown-up (Investigator).
- Integrate: an ayah, read together, and a question that connects it to the story.
- Impart: your child picks one small plan for the week, and when or where to do it.
The week of practice
For the next seven days, Today asks one question: “Did you do it today?” Each “Yes, I did!” fills a dot. After five days, at any pace, the manner lights up in My circles. “Not today” is a rest day, shown as a crescent moon: nothing is lost, and there is no streak to break.
The next manner opens after five days, or when the week ends. A habit that isn't lit by then keeps growing on My circles, and can be finished any time. If you want to move on sooner, “Open the next manner now” is in the settings.
Friends of other faiths
Singapore children grow up with friends of many faiths and races. Akhlaq stays with kindness, fairness and respect, with confidence in who we are and never superiority. Questions that touch a ruling, such as festivals and food, are worded by our asatizah before they appear. Akhlaq gives reflection, never rulings.
Every family is different
Every family is different. Some children live with one parent, with grandparents, with a step-parent or with a guardian. Whoever cares for your child, the same love and good manners apply: change “Mama” and “Abah” in the stories to the people in your child's life.
Staying safe
Good manners never mean doing something wrong because a grown-up said so. If anyone asks your child to do something wrong, or to keep a secret about being hurt, your child should tell a trusted adult.
