4-I guide
Allah is the One who gives Ibrahim food and drink.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who really gives you your food?"
A short clip of Islam Sobhi reciting Ibrahim's dua, ayat 78 to 83.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah give Ibrahim?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How many people help bring my food, and who sends it all?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 79. The key words yut'imuni wa yasqin mean He feeds me and gives me drink. Farmers, rain, sun and shops all play a part, but Allah sends it all. Every meal is a gift to thank Him for.
Fact: About how much water should a child drink each day?
Ages 5–8: Food journey. Draw how bread travels from the field to your table.
Ages 9–12: Many hands. List everyone involved in one meal and who sent them all.
Finish with: "I found children need about ___ of water a day."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say bismillah and alhamdulillah at every meal."
Action: Say bismillah and alhamdulillah at every meal.
