4-I guide
They left their treasures and their honoured, comfortable homes.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can treasure keep someone safe?"
The full upload is long. On radwanahmed1, Islam Sobhi recites Ash-Shu'ara; listen closely.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What else did they leave?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why couldn't treasure save them?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 58. The key words kunuz and maqamin karim mean treasures and an honoured place. Pharaoh's wealth stayed behind. Treasure cannot protect anyone from Allah's decree. Only good deeds come with us.
Fact: Which young king's tomb treasures are famous in Egypt's museums today?
Ages 5–8: What comes with us. Draw a treasure chest and a heart, and talk about which lasts.
Ages 9–12: Left behind. Write what we take with us and what we leave.
Finish with: "I found it was King ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share something I treasure."
Action: Share something you treasure.
