4-I guide
Then Allah destroyed the rest.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does the land near the Dead Sea teach us?"
This one runs long. Open the Door to Deen video of Ibrahim Al-Akhdar and listen for a while.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happened to the others?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What remains of that place?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 172. The key word dammarna means We destroyed. One calm line: those who refused to stop were destroyed. The lesson is about turning back to Allah before it is too late.
Fact: About how far below sea level is the shore of the Dead Sea?
Ages 5–8: Lowest place. Find the Dead Sea on a map.
Ages 9–12: Turn back. Write why turning back to Allah early matters.
Finish with: "I found it is about ___ metres below sea level."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will turn back quickly after any mistake."
Action: Turn back quickly after any mistake.
