4-I guide
The Prophet is told to put his trust in the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who do you lean on when things are hard?"
MiniMuslims shows an episode about tawakkul, trusting Allah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who should the Prophet rely on?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why these two names for trust?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 217. The key word tawakkal means rely. The two names from every story return: al-'Aziz and ar-Rahim. Trust the One who is strong enough to help and kind enough to want to.
Fact: Which ayah of Al Imran tells us to put our trust in Allah once we decide?
Ages 5–8: Lean on. Lean on a wall and talk about leaning on Allah.
Ages 9–12: Strong and kind. Write why trusting someone strong and kind is safe.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al Imran."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say 'hasbiyallah' when I feel worried."
Action: Say 'hasbiyallah' when you feel worried.
