Opening the ayah…
وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ
Wa 'in mmin shay''in 'illā ʻindanā khazā'inuhu wamā nunazziluhu 'illā biqadarin mmaʻ'lūmin
And there is not a thing but its (sources and) treasures (inexhaustible) are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
The treasures of everything are with Allah, and He sends them down only in a known measure.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where do rain, snow and food really come from?"
USRAH ILMU STUDIO posted a short recitation of ayat 16–31 of Al-Hijr. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does Allah send things down?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah send things in measure?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 21. Allah's treasures never run out. He sends rain, food and blessings in just the right amounts, at the right time.
Fact: How much rain falls on earth each year? Find an estimate.
Ages 5–8: Rain gauge. Make a simple rain gauge from a jar.
Ages 9–12: In measure. Write why things come in the right amount.
Finish with: "I found about ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for rain or water every day."
Action: Thank Allah for rain or water every day.
