4-I guide
The Prophet is told to warn his closest relatives.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why start sharing good with family first?"
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi speaks about keeping family ties; play the first few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who should the Prophet warn first?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why begin with family?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 214. The key words 'ashiratak al-aqrabin mean your nearest relatives. Good begins at home. The Prophet shared the message with his family first. We also care most about guiding those closest to us.
Fact: Which ayah of Ta-Ha tells us to command our family to pray?
Ages 5–8: Family first. Remind someone in your family about prayer time kindly.
Ages 9–12: Good begins at home. Write why family comes first in sharing good.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Ta-Ha."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remind a family member of prayer time kindly."
Action: Remind a family member of prayer time kindly.
