4-I guide
Shall we tell you who will lose the most because of their deeds?
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the worst kind of loss?"
Listen together as Muhammad Abu al-Hassan recites ayat 99–110 of Al-Kahf, a short clip shared by DivineQuran 114.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the question asked?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who could lose the most?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Kahf is surah 18. Find ayah 103. The answer comes next. It's a surprising one: people who worked hard but in the wrong direction.
Fact: Read 18:104 for the answer.
Ages 5–8: Right direction. Walk to a target with eyes closed, then with eyes open.
Ages 9–12: Direction. Write why direction matters as much as effort.
Finish with: "I found the answer is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will check that my efforts please Allah."
Action: Check that your efforts please Allah.
