Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith.

4-I guide
Remember Allah and He will remember you; be grateful to Him and never ungrateful.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens when you remember Allah?"
Play the short Al-Baqarah clip of ayah 152 from Ummah Muslim.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah promise?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah remember us?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 152. Fadhkuruni adhkurkum: remember Me and I'll remember you. Allah remembers those who remember Him, even among the angels.
Fact: Allah says whoever remembers Him in a gathering, He remembers them in a better gathering (Bukhari).
Ages 5–8: Dhikr. Say subhanallah ten times.
Ages 9–12: Remembered. Write how it feels to be remembered by Allah.
Finish with: "Remember Me and I will ___ you."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do dhikr after each prayer."
Action: Do dhikr after each prayer.
