4-I guide
Allah told Iblis to get out, for he was cast out.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens to someone who refuses to obey?"
For a few quiet minutes, listen to Abdur-Rahman As-Sudais reciting Al-Hijr, shared by Daily Recitation TV HD.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was Iblis told to do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What did Iblis lose because of pride?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 34. Iblis lost his place because of pride and disobedience. It shows how serious arrogance is.
Fact: Find a similar ayah in Al-A'raf (7:13).
Ages 5–8: Lost. Talk about what pride can make us lose.
Ages 9–12: Consequences. Write how choices have results.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice when I feel proud and stop."
Action: Notice when you feel proud and stop.
