Opening the ayah…
قُلِ ٱنظُرُوا۟ مَاذَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَا تُغْنِى ٱلْءَايَٰتُ وَٱلنُّذُرُ عَن قَوْمٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Quli (u)nẓurū mādhā fī ssamāwāti wal-'ar'ḍi . wamā tugh'nī l-'āyātu wa nnudhuru ʻan qaw'min llā yu''minūna
Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth"; but neither Signs nor Warners profit those who believe not.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Tell people to look at everything in the skies and on the earth, though signs and warnings do not help people who refuse to believe.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "When did you last look up at the sky and wonder?"
Listen together as Ayman recites ayat 98–106 of Yunus, a short clip shared by Daarul iimaan official.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What are people told to look at?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What can the sky and earth teach us about Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 101. Allah tells us to observe His creation: stars, clouds, mountains, animals. Everything points to Him. But looking only helps if the heart is open.
Fact: How many kinds of beetles scientists have found. A sign to ponder.
Ages 5–8: Sky look. Lie on the grass and describe what you see above.
Ages 9–12: Sign journal. Write five signs of Allah you see this week.
Finish with: "Scientists have named about ___ thousand kinds of beetles."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will look up at the sky and say subhanallah."
Action: Look up at the sky and say subhanallah.
