Honesty is one of the greatest human values that Islam has urged us to adhere to and adhere to. Being keen to instill this sublime value in the souls of our children leaves a positive and effective impact on their lives from a young age and continues with them until adulthood.
The trait of honesty builds self-confidence within a person from a young age. An honest child gains the trust, respect, and appreciation of everyone around him. Honesty also teaches our children courage, as an honest person is courageous no matter what hardships he faces.
One of the most important things that honesty teaches our children is self-reliance and enduring hardships. An honest person confronts and does not evade with multiple lies and devious methods and avoids his actions.
Always be careful, mother, to be a role model for your child. Only speak to him honestly, and be careful of some behaviors that may indirectly undermine the value of honesty, such as asking your child to lie and say that you are asleep or not at home when your friend calls you or someone knocks on your door that you do not want to receive.
The first story:
One of the most sublime, honest and realistic stories about honesty for children ever…
If you want to tell stories about honesty to enhance the virtue of honesty in your children and constantly encourage them to do so, you will not find anything more beautiful or wonderful than the biography of the best of messengers. So tell your child about the best role model for us, the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and how he was called the truthful and trustworthy.
The Messenger of God, Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, was the most truthful of people, the most perfect in knowledge, action, faith, conviction, and the most pious of them. He, may God bless him and grant him peace, was known for his truthfulness among his people, and none of them doubted the extent of his truthfulness and trustworthiness. Among the most beautiful things mentioned is when Heraclius, the King of Rome, asked Abu Sufyan about these questions that he asked about the description of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, Heraclius, the King of Rome, said: “And I asked you: Did you accuse him of lying before he said what he said?!”
You claimed: “No, I knew that he would not lie to people and then go and lie to God.”

The second story:
One of the most beautiful children’s stories about honesty and its impact on a child’s life, a story that we were all raised on since we were young, and despite its age, it has an effective impact in instilling the value of honesty in the souls of our children…
One day, in a town, there was a child named “Shahab.” This child worked as a shepherd for the town’s people’s sheep. Every day, he would take the sheep to look after them and take great care of them. But one day, he felt very bored and weary, so he decided to break the boredom that was overwhelming him. He shouted at the top of his voice, calling for help from the town’s people and claiming that wolves had attacked their sheep!
Indeed, the townspeople rushed to help him and their sheep, and each of them was carrying something sharp in his hands, but they were surprised to find “Shihab” laughing at them and they discovered that no wolves had passed by in the first place!
The townspeople were fed up with his actions and scolded him for them, but he was happy enough with what he did to the point that he did it again and again, and every time the townspeople would rush to his aid and discover that he was a liar who was playing with them!
One day, wolves attacked the flock of sheep. No matter how much Shihab called for help, he did not find any of them, and no matter how much he swore to them, they did not believe him either. None of them came to him. He managed to escape with his life by climbing a tree, but he lost the entire flock of sheep.
When the sun set and “Shihab” was late in returning with the flock of sheep, they became worried, so they went looking for him and were shocked when they saw “Shihab” high up in the tree and all the sheep were cut up on the ground around him!
He felt deep regret for his repeated lies to the townspeople. If he had not lied to them, they would have believed him when he found himself in a real predicament, but he played with them, their feelings, and their trust in him until he lost trust completely and paid a high price for it.

The third story:
One of the most beautiful children’s stories about honesty and its impact on a child’s life. It is also considered one of the stories that we grew up with since we were young, and perhaps one of us studied it in elementary school, the first stages of his life. It is a story that teaches us the extent and importance of honesty in our lives, and that the honest person is loved among people and everyone who knows him places their complete trust in him.
On one of the beaches there was a very naughty child who enjoyed pretending to drown. He was a good swimmer and was passionate about it, but he would deliberately swim to far away places and scream at the top of his voice and call for help. With every attempt, a number of people would come to him and rush to help him, but as soon as the lifeguards reached him, he would laugh at them all and deliberately show them how good he was at swimming and how much he was superior even to the adults among them!
Not a day passed without him doing what he did every day. One day, the child felt that his death was approaching and that he was really drowning, so he called out to people for help, but no one saved him. He kept screaming and calling out for help and assistance, but no one believed him. The child kept struggling to save his life, but only a few moments later, his voice was cut off from the people, just as his breathing was cut off. One of them was surprised that his voice was cut off, which was not his usual habit, so he rushed to help him. Indeed, he found him drowning in the water, so he quickly picked him up and pulled him out of the water.
As soon as he reached the shore, he tried to save him, but he did not respond, so he rushed him to the nearest hospital, where they did what was necessary and were able to save his life, which was about to end at that time. The child learned a harsh lesson not to lie throughout his life, even if he was joking, because lying caused his life to almost end.
