4-I guide
Anyone who looks for closeness beyond marriage has crossed Allah's limits.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens if a football goes over the touchline?"
Play the short recitation of ayat 1–11 from The Rizq Diary.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does the ayah call those who go beyond?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah set limits?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 7. The key word 'adun means those who cross the line. Allah's limits are like lines on a pitch: they make life fair and safe. Staying inside them protects people and families.
Fact: Which word in the Quran means Allah's limits?
Ask your teacher about hudud Allah.
Ages 5–8: Line game. Play a game with lines on the floor; stepping over means pause.
Ages 9–12: Why lines matter. Write how one rule at school protects people.
Finish with: "I found Allah's limits are called ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep one rule even when it's hard: ___."
Action: Keep your rule.
