Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا
'Inna -lladhīna 'āmanū waʻamilū ṣṣāliḥāti 'innā lā nuḍīʻu 'aj'ra man' 'aḥ'sana ʻamalan
As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a (single) righteous deed.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Allah never lets the reward of anyone who does good go to waste.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Do small good deeds count?"
Begin Abdul Rahman Al-Ossi's Al-Kahf on Holy Quran القرآن الكريم and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whose reward is never lost?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah keep track of every good deed?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Kahf is surah 18. Find ayah 30. Every good deed, even a smile, is kept safe by Allah. Nothing is wasted. That makes us want to do more good.
Fact: Find the ayah about an atom's weight of good (Az-Zalzalah 99:7).
Ages 5–8: Good deed jar. Add a bead for every good deed.
Ages 9–12: Never wasted. Write how this ayah encourages you.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will fill my good deed jar."
Action: Fill your good deed jar.
Beads are a choking risk for small children.
