4-I guide
A mighty blast seized them at sunrise.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does the Quran tell us how wrongdoing ends?"
FurqanTube has the whole of Al-Hijr by Mishary Alafasy. Play just the first stretch.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When did the blast come?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is the lesson?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 73. This is the calm, serious end of the story. Wrongdoing that continues after warnings comes to an end. We learn and choose good.
Fact: Find a similar ayah in Hud (11:82).
Ages 5–8: Lesson. Talk about one lesson from Lut's story.
Ages 9–12: Endings. Write why warnings should be heeded.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will heed one reminder quickly."
Action: Heed one reminder quickly.
