4-I guide
They will live there forever in a beautiful place to settle and remain.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What would make a home beautiful forever?"
Play Samir Ezzat's recitation from Quraan FM and follow along.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How long will they stay?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Which words here match ayah 66?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Furqan is surah 25. Find ayah 76. The key words hasunat mustaqarran wa muqama mean beautiful as a place to settle and stay. These are the same two words used for the Fire in ayah 66, but now with 'beautiful'. Two homes, two endings.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-Kahf says the believers will never wish to move from the Garden?
Ages 5–8: Forever home. Draw the home you hope for in the Garden.
Ages 9–12: Two homes. Compare ayah 66 and ayah 76 in two columns.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Kahf."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one deed for my forever home each day."
Action: Do one deed for your forever home each day.
