4-I guide
They describe the Fire as a terrible place to settle and to remain.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a place good to live in?"
Play Muhammad Al-Luhaidan's recitation from Only for Allah and follow along.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How do they describe the Fire?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What kind of home do I hope for?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Furqan is surah 25. Find ayah 66. The key words mustaqarran wa muqama mean a place to settle and to stay. Their dua ends here; the next ayat return to their good habits. Hope and fear go together.
Fact: Which ayah near the end of Al-Furqan uses the same two words for the Garden?
Ages 5–8: Good home. Draw what makes a home happy and safe.
Ages 9–12: Mirror words. Find the ayah where the same words describe the Garden and compare.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Furqan."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make my home a little happier with one kind act."
Action: Make your home a little happier with one kind act.
