4-I guide
Allah said Iblis would stay far from His mercy until the Day of Judgment.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is being far from Allah's mercy the biggest loss?"
Listen to the opening of Omar Hisham Al Arabi's Al-Hijr, from his own channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Until when is Iblis far from mercy?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do we stay close to Allah's mercy?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 35. Iblis is far from Allah's mercy. We stay close to it with prayer, du'a, kindness and saying sorry when we slip.
Fact: Find the ayah 'Allah's mercy is near to those who do good' (Al-A'raf 7:56).
Ages 5–8: Close to mercy. List ways to stay close to Allah.
Ages 9–12: Mercy. Write why Allah's mercy is our greatest treasure.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one act that brings Allah's mercy each day."
Action: Do one act that brings Allah's mercy each day.
