4-I guide
Some said they had heard a young man speak about the idols, called Ibrahim.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can a young person make a big difference?"
Play a few minutes of Muhammad Siddiq Al-Minshawi on القرآن يُرشدنا.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How was Ibrahim described?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What can young people do for the truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 60. Fata means a young man. Ibrahim was young yet brave and wise. Young people can stand for truth too.
Fact: Find other young believers in the Quran, like the youths of the cave (Al-Kahf 18:13).
Ages 5–8: Young and strong. Draw a young tree standing tall.
Ages 9–12: Young heroes. Write about young believers in the Quran.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one brave good deed."
Action: Do one brave good deed.
