4-I guide
Tell those who do not believe to do what they can in their own way, and the believers will do their part.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How should we respond when others choose a different way?"
Play the short clip of Imran Bin Saif reciting ayat 110–123 of Hud, from his own channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the believers do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why focus on doing our own part well?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Hud is surah 11. Find ayah 121. Like Shu'ayb in 11:93, the Prophet was told: you do your part. Believers keep working for good, whatever others do.
Fact: Compare this with Shu'ayb's words in 11:93.
Ages 5–8: My part. List your jobs at home and do one well.
Ages 9–12: Focus. Write why focusing on our own good deeds helps.
Finish with: "11:93 also says ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will focus on doing my own part well."
Action: Focus on doing your own part well.
