4-I guide
Everyone returns to Allah, and He has power over all things.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where does a river finally end up?"
Play the short Hud clip of ayat 1–10 from PAR Channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "To whom do we all return?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How should I live if I know I am going back to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Hud is surah 11. Find ayah 4. Like rivers flowing to the sea, every person returns to Allah. He is Al-Qadir, able to do anything. This helps us live carefully and with hope.
Fact: Rivers flow downhill until they reach a lake or the sea. Find out which river is the longest in the world.
Ages 5–8: River route. Draw a river from the mountains to the sea.
Ages 9–12: Returning. Write how remembering we return to Allah helps us choose well.
Finish with: "The longest river is ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one good deed and think: this goes back with me."
Action: Do one good deed and think: this goes back with you.
