<![CDATA[Instilling Islamic ethical values particularly the habit of modest dressing requires an early foundation during a child's formative years. Initial observations at TK Darul Hikmah in Nagari III Koto Aur Malintang Timur revealed a gap in daily practice, as numerous students had not consistently worn Sharia-compliant attire at school. To address this issue, a community engagement project was implemented to elevate children's awareness of safeguarding their aurat, cultivate Islamic clothing habits, and strengthen religious morals from an early age. Adopting a Participatory Action Research (PAR) framework, the initiative involved close collaboration with school administrators and teachers across all phases, from problem mapping and program design to implementation and evaluation. Educational content was delivered via child-centric interactive techniques, incorporating visual media, educational animations, gamified learning, interactive Q&A, and group songs. Data gathered through direct observation, teacher interviews, and event documentation were thoroughly evaluated using a qualitative descriptive technique. The results indicated a substantial rise in student literacy: foundational knowledge of aurat improved from 30% to 82%, comprehension of its importance expanded from 40% to 85%, and the capacity to identify Islamic attire increased from 50% to 89%. This initiative explicitly contributes a fun, media-driven instructional archetype for early childhood moral development while serving as a practical reference for educators and parents. Conclusively, early intervention through engaging instructional methods successfully fosters religious understanding and establishes sustainable modest dressing habits among young children.
