4-I guide
Successful believers give zakah and keep working to make themselves pure.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do we wash fruit before eating it?"
Play the short recitation of ayat 1–11 from Murottal Allatangi.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do the believers keep doing?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does giving make the heart clean?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 4. The word zakah is linked to growing and cleaning. Giving part of what we have to people in need cleans our wealth and our hearts from greed. Some scholars also say this ayah means purifying ourselves in every way.
Fact: What share of savings is paid as zakah each year?
Ask your teacher.
Ages 5–8: Sharing jar. Decorate a jar and put in a coin whenever you can, to give later.
Ages 9–12: Who receives? Find out the groups of people who can receive zakah (Surah At-Tawbah, ayah 60).
Finish with: "I found zakah is ___ of savings."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will put something in the sharing jar ___ (when)."
Action: Fill the sharing jar.
