4-I guide
The Prophet says it was revealed to him that your God is One God, so will you submit to Him?
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the most important message in the Quran?"
Play a few minutes of Muhammad Al-Luhaidan on Door to Deen.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was revealed?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does it mean to submit to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 108. The message of all the prophets is summed up: your God is One. Muslim means one who submits to Allah.
Fact: What does the word 'Muslim' mean?
Ages 5–8: One. Draw the number one with a sunrise behind it.
Ages 9–12: Submission. Write what submitting to Allah looks like daily.
Finish with: "I found Muslim means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah is One before each prayer."
Action: Remember Allah is One before each prayer.
