4-I guide
The people of the Wood were also wrongdoers.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who were the people of the Wood?"
Raad Mohammad al Kurdi has a short Al-Hijr clip of Raad Muhammad Al-Kurdi reciting ayat 78–99. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What were they?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What wrong did they do?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 78. The people of the Wood are linked with the prophet Shu'ayb, peace be upon him. They cheated in measuring and weighing. Honest trade matters to Allah.
Fact: Find where Shu'ayb warned the people of the Wood (Ash-Shu'ara 26:176–181).
Ages 5–8: Fair trade. Play shop and give fair measures.
Ages 9–12: Honesty. Write why cheating in trade is wrong.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be honest in every trade or swap."
Action: Be honest in every trade or swap.
