4-I guide
Except Lut's family: the angels said they would save all of them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does Allah care for those who obey Him?"
IQRA AL-QURAN shares Sudais reciting Al-Hijr. Play a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who would be saved?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why were Lut's family saved?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 59. Lut and his believing family would be saved. Allah protects those who stay on the right path, even in a bad place.
Fact: Find a similar ayah in Al-Anbiya (21:74).
Ages 5–8: Safe and saved. Talk about how Allah protects believers.
Ages 9–12: Protected. Write how Allah saved Lut.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will stay good even when others aren't."
Action: Stay good even when others aren't.
