Chore duty

At the SSH, we like to be productive, as anyone else should be. We don't just offer free room + board to those who can't afford it. If you want to live you are going to have to obey the rules, and work for your room and board, along with your other sisters and young brothers. So, at least daily everyone needs to hav something to do for some hours, relax, and work. No, this isn't like a job you work at, but as muslim we should live in clean quarters, NOT dirty ones. Remember, cleanliness is next to godliness. Allah loves us to be clean, so as muslims we keep ourselves clean, and the property that he has entrusted us with because we are grateful to have such a places like this.

So, basically we hold a meeting with everyone or ask them an indvidual questionnire about the different types of duties we can do. We're not having maids and butlers, we do the work all by ourselves within a group of sisters breaking down large tasks to smaller ones and accomplishing that task as teamwork. Then there are some tasks you will be capableof doing alone, such as tidying up your room, bathing yourself (unless u aren't able to do so), and etc. While your kids live here a well they also will help wit the house work. Setting an example and teaching them the importance of cleaning the house is an important job. One that is pleasing to Allah as well as it is counted as a charity and good deed, only if done by the sake of Allah.

The types of chores that will be done in the house are:

Kitchen duty (prepare the meals,clean appliances, throw out old stuff,clean the floor, restock iems etc.)
