Wa yaqūlūna sub'ḥāna rabbinā 'in kāna waʻ'du rabbinā lamaf'ʻūlan

4-I guide
They say: glory be to our Lord, His promise has truly been fulfilled.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you feel when a promise comes true?"
Listen together as Mishary Alafasy recites ayat 105–111 of Al-Isra, a short clip shared by MZG.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do they say?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Which promise did they see fulfilled?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Isra is surah 17. Find ayah 108. The people of knowledge recognised the Quran as the promised message. They glorified Allah. His promises always come true.
Fact: Find the ayah 'Allah does not break His promise' (Ar-Ra'd 13:31).
Ages 5–8: Promise kept. Talk about promises Allah has kept.
Ages 9–12: Fulfilled. Write how Allah's promises give confidence.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep one promise carefully."
Action: Keep one promise carefully.
