4-I guide
They and those who led them astray will be thrown into it together.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does who we follow matter so much?"
The full upload is long. Ahmed Al-Ajmi reads Surah Ash-Shu'ara here, uploaded by Tx46ta.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is thrown in together?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why are followers and misleaders together?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 94. The key word kubkibu means thrown down headlong. One calm line: false gods and those who followed them share the same end. Who we follow shapes where we end up.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-Mulk has people say they would not be there if they had listened and thought?
Ages 5–8: Follow the leader. Play follow the leader, then talk about choosing good leaders.
Ages 9–12: Who to follow. Write how to choose good people to follow.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Mulk."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will follow someone who reminds me of Allah."
Action: Follow someone who reminds you of Allah.
