Opening the ayah…
وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِى ٱلزَّبُورِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلذِّكْرِ أَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِىَ ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ
Wa laqad' katab'nā fī zzabūri min[m] baʻ'di dhdhik'ri 'anna l-'ar'ḍa yarithuhā ʻibādiya ṣṣāliḥūna

4-I guide
Allah wrote in the Zabur, after the earlier reminder, that His righteous servants will inherit the earth.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Which earlier books did Allah send?"
Try a little of Ali Jaber's Al-Anbiya from Yayasan Syekh Ali Jaber, and follow along.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will inherit the earth?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does it mean to inherit the earth?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 105. The Zabur was given to Dawud. Allah promised in it that the righteous will inherit the earth. We look after the earth as good servants.
Fact: Which prophet was given the Zabur? (Dawud, An-Nisa 4:163.).
Ages 5–8: Earth care. Do one thing to care for the earth.
Ages 9–12: Inheritors. Write how righteous people look after the earth.
Finish with: "I found it was ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will pick up litter or plant something."
Action: Pick up litter or plant something.
