Sung by Layan · Layth follows along
- Bismillah I start my day, wash my hands
- before I play, keep my room all nice
- and clean, that's what being good should mean.
- Trash goes where it's meant to go, Allah
- loves when we do so, little deeds we
- do with care, our trust we all must share.
- Clean hands, clean land do our part, for
- Allah with a caring heart, inside and outside
- it's all the same, we keep it clean
- in Allah's name.
- Put it where it belongs, caring together makes us strong.
- When we step outside to play, we don't
- throw our waste away, birds and animals roam
- around, living safely on this ground.
- If we leave our trash behind, it can
- harm them, let's be kind, every place we
- laugh and roll, we treat it just like our home.
- Clean hands, clean land do our part, for
- Allah with a caring heart, inside and outside
- it's all the same, we keep it clean
- in Allah's name.
- Put it where it belongs, caring together makes us strong.
- Every creature big or small, Allah made and
- loves them all, when we care for land
- and sea, we protect His creation gently.
- Clean hands, clean land side by side, as
- caretakers filled with pride, inside, outside, everywhere, we
- show Allah that we care.
- Put it where it belongs, clean and kind
- all day long.
What this song is about
Cleanliness as something you are trusted with: washing your hands before you play, keeping your room tidy, putting trash where it belongs, and not dropping litter outside where birds and animals live. Inside and outside, the song says, it is all the same.
Questions parents ask
Is this song about wudu?
No. It is about everyday cleanliness — washing your hands before you play, keeping your room tidy, putting trash where it belongs. Wudu is the washing Muslims do before prayer, and it has its own page. Read more →
How do I teach my child not to litter?
The song gives a reason a child can picture rather than a rule to obey: birds and animals live on the ground we walk over, and trash left behind can hurt them.
What does “clean hands, clean land” mean?
That the two are one habit, not two. The chorus says it plainly — inside and outside, it’s all the same — so tidying your own room and looking after a park come from the same care.
