4-I guide
Tell Allah's servants that He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the happiest news anyone can hear?"
Mishary Alafasy recites Al-Hijr on his own channel. Play the first few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names of Allah are mentioned?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah want us to know this first?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 49. Al-Ghafur and Ar-Rahim: Allah forgives and shows mercy. This message comes before the warning in the next ayah. Hope comes first.
Fact: Find the ayah where Allah wrote mercy upon Himself (Al-An'am 6:12).
Ages 5–8: Good news. Tell a family member this good news from the Quran.
Ages 9–12: Names. Write what these two names mean to you.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah's mercy when I make a mistake."
Action: Remember Allah's mercy when you make a mistake.
