4-I guide
The time given to Iblis lasts only until a day that Allah knows.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Does Iblis have forever?"
Hazza Al-Balushi recites Al-Hijr on Light of Guidance. A few minutes is plenty.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How long is Iblis's time?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is it good that Iblis's time has an end?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 38. Iblis's time is limited. Evil doesn't last forever. Allah's plan always wins in the end.
Fact: Find the ayah 'falsehood is bound to vanish' (Al-Isra 17:81).
Ages 5–8: It ends. Talk about how hard times have an end.
Ages 9–12: Limited. Write why evil has an end.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember hard times end."
Action: Remember hard times end.
