4-I guide
He alone is the All-Hearing and the All-Knowing.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does Allah hear that no one else does?"
Abdallah Mohamed recites ayat 214 to 227 at Masjid Abu Bakar.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names close this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah hear every whisper?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 220. The key words as-Sami' al-'Alim mean the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Allah hears every dua and knows every intention. Nothing we do in prayer, or anywhere else, is hidden from Him.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-Baqarah has Ibrahim and Isma'il call Allah the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing as they built the Ka'bah?
Ages 5–8: Whisper dua. Whisper a dua and trust Allah hears.
Ages 9–12: Two names. Write what as-Sami' and al-'Alim mean for your duas.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Baqarah."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make a quiet dua every night."
Action: Make a quiet dua every night.
