4-I guide
Before that, Allah created the jinn from a scorching fire.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Are there creations we cannot see?"
A short clip on alfatihah channel recites ayat 26–44 of Al-Hijr. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What were the jinn made from?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What do we know about the jinn?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 27. The jinn are real creations of Allah, made from fire, and we cannot see them. Some believe and some don't. Ask your ustaz or ustazah to learn more.
Fact: Find the surah named after the jinn (Surah 72).
Ages 5–8: Unseen creations. List creations of Allah we can't see.
Ages 9–12: Jinn. Write what the Quran tells us about jinn.
Finish with: "I found it is Surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say a'udhu billah when entering the bathroom."
Action: Say a'udhu billah when entering the bathroom.
