4-I guide
Allah tells us to remember Ibrahim, who was very truthful and a prophet.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does it mean to always tell the truth?"
A short clip on Qur’anic Therapy Hub recites ayat 41–48 of Maryam. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things was Ibrahim?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is truthfulness so important for a prophet?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 41. Siddiq means someone who is always truthful. Ibrahim, peace be upon him, was truthful in words and actions. Truthfulness is the base of good character.
Fact: Find where Ibrahim is called a friend of Allah (An-Nisa 4:125).
Ages 5–8: Truth chart. Tick a box each time you tell the truth when it's hard.
Ages 9–12: Siddiq. Write about someone you know who always tells the truth.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell the truth even when it's hard."
Action: Tell the truth even when it's hard.
