4-I guide
Rather, it is Allah who protects you, and no helper is greater than Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who is the strongest protector?"
Begin a reciter's Ali 'Imran on Islamic Channel and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is our Protector?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is Allah the greatest Helper?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 150. Instead of relying on people who may let us down, we rely on Allah, our Mawla. He never fails.
Fact: Al-Mawla means the Protector and Ally.
Ages 5–8: My Protector. Draw a shelter and write Al-Mawla.
Ages 9–12: Rely on Allah. Write why Allah never lets us down.
Finish with: "Allah is our ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say hasbiyallah when I'm worried."
Action: Say hasbiyallah when you'm worried.
