4-I guide
Nuh said he was nothing but a plain warner.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is a warner's job?"
Play only a little. Try a few minutes of Ali Jaber, posted by Door to Deen.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is Nuh's job?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why only a warner?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 115. The key words nadhirun mubin mean a clear warner. Nuh's job was to warn clearly, not to force or judge. Results belong to Allah. Doing our part well is enough.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-Mulk has the Prophet say that he is only a clear warner?
Ages 5–8: Warning signs. Draw a clear warning sign for danger.
Ages 9–12: Doing our part. Write what our part is when we share good.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Mulk."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will warn a friend kindly about something unsafe."
Action: Warn a friend kindly about something unsafe.
