وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّۭا
Wa wahab'nā lahum mmin rraḥ'matinā wajaʻalnā lahum' lissāna ṣid'qin ʻaliyyan
And We bestowed of Our Mercy on them, and We granted them lofty honour on the tongue of truth.

4-I guide
Allah gave them His mercy and made people remember them with honour and truth.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you want people to remember you?"
Settle down and play the start of Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary's Maryam (Quran.surf).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah give them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why are Ibrahim and his family still remembered?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 50. Ibrahim's family are remembered with love even today. We send blessings on Ibrahim in every prayer. A good name comes from good deeds.
Fact: Find where Ibrahim is mentioned in the tashahhud du'a (ask your teacher).
Ages 5–8: Good name. Draw a badge with a good trait you want to be known for.
Ages 9–12: Legacy. Write how you want to be remembered.
Finish with: "I learned ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one deed I'd like to be remembered for."
Action: Do one deed you'd like to be remembered for.
