Opening the ayah…
أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَٰكِن لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ
'Alā 'innahum' humu l-muf'sidūna walākin llā yash'ʻurūna
Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Looking for reflections…
Shared reflections are reviewed before they appear. We feature ones that follow the spirit of the 4-I journey and suit families of all backgrounds.
Guided by the 4-I journey: Inspire, Investigate, Integrate, Impart. Use it as a starting point and make it your own.
Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Truly they are the ones spreading trouble, but they do not realise it.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can someone cause harm without noticing?"
Play the short clip from Satu Huruf Al-Qur'an 10 Kebaikan of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 11–15 of Al-Baqarah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What don't they realise?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can we notice our own mistakes?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 12. It's easy to see others' faults and miss our own. Good friends, reflection and du'a help us notice and fix our mistakes.
Fact: Muhasabah means checking yourself, a habit the Companions practised daily.
Ages 5–8: Day check. At bedtime, think of one thing to do better.
Ages 9–12: Blind spots. Write how good friends help us see our mistakes.
Finish with: "Muhasabah means checking ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will think about my day before sleeping."
Action: Think about your day before sleeping.
