4-I guide
Protect yourselves from the Fire that has been prepared for those who reject faith.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you protect yourself from danger?"
Play the short Ali 'Imran clip of ayat 131–140 from Islamic Channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should we guard against?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What protects us?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 131. This ayah mentions, in one calm line, the Fire. Faith, good deeds and seeking forgiveness are our protection.
Fact: The Prophet said: protect yourself from the Fire even with half a date in charity (Bukhari).
Ages 5–8: Half a date. Give a small charity today.
Ages 9–12: Protection. Write three things that protect us.
Finish with: "Even half a ___ in charity protects."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will give a small charity."
Action: Give a small charity.
