4-I guide
People ask about the mountains, and the Prophet is told to say his Lord will crush them into scattered dust.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the strongest thing on earth you can think of?"
Listen together as Muhammad Al-Luhaidan recites ayat 105–114 of Ta-Ha, a short clip shared by Iftah Al-Quran.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will happen to the mountains?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If even mountains end, what lasts?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 105. A sign to ponder: mountains seem forever, but they slowly wear down even now. On that Day, Allah will scatter them like dust. Only Allah lasts forever.
Fact: How do mountains wear down over time (erosion)? Find out.
Ages 5–8: Sand mountain. Build a sand mountain and gently blow it away.
Ages 9–12: What lasts. Write what lasts when mountains don't.
Finish with: "I found erosion is caused by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do a deed that lasts, like teaching something good."
Action: Do a deed that lasts, like teaching something good.
