4-I guide
On that Day, Allah will gather the mindful to the Most Merciful as an honoured group of guests.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you welcome special guests at home?"
Play the short clip from Floriana • فلوريانا of Raad Muhammad Al-Kurdi reciting ayat 85–98 of Maryam.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How will the mindful be gathered?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would it feel like to be Allah's honoured guest?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 85. The people of taqwa will be welcomed to Ar-Rahman like guests of honour. It's a beautiful picture of reward and respect.
Fact: Find where believers are welcomed with peace (Az-Zumar 39:73).
Ages 5–8: Welcome guests. Help prepare for guests at home.
Ages 9–12: Honoured. Write how the mindful are honoured.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will welcome a guest kindly."
Action: Welcome a guest kindly.
