4-I guide
They will have a share of what they earned, and Allah is quick in taking account.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Does Allah take long to count our deeds?"
Play the short Al-Baqarah clip of ayah 202 from Amin Shorts Quran.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is Allah quick in?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can Allah count everyone's deeds quickly?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 202. Allah counts every deed of every person instantly. Those who ask for good and work for it receive their share.
Fact: Sari' al-hisab means swift in reckoning.
Ages 5–8: Quick count. Count your good deeds today.
Ages 9–12: Swift reckoning. Write what 'quick in account' shows about Allah.
Finish with: "Allah is quick in ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do a good deed and ask Allah to accept it."
Action: Do a good deed and ask Allah to accept it.
