4-I guide
Allah sees the Prophet when he stands in prayer.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel to know Allah sees you pray?"
The Message recites ayat 214 to 220.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When does Allah see the Prophet?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Does Allah see me pray too?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 218. The key word taqum means you stand. Allah sees every prayer, even in the dark of night. This is a comfort: no prayer goes unseen. It also makes us pray with care.
Fact: Which ayah of At-Tur says the Prophet is in Allah's sight?
Ages 5–8: Seen and loved. Pray a calm two rak'ahs, remembering Allah sees you.
Ages 9–12: Never unseen. Write how knowing Allah sees changes your prayer.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of At-Tur."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will pray calmly, remembering Allah sees me."
Action: Pray calmly, remembering Allah sees you.
