They are in varying gardens in the sight of Allah, and Allah sees well all that they do.

4-I guide
People have different ranks with Allah, and Allah sees everything they do.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Are all good deeds the same level?"
pondok lukman posted a short recitation of ayat 161–170 of Ali 'Imran. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do people have with Allah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can we rise in rank?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 163. Each person has a rank with Allah depending on faith and deeds. Allah sees all, so we keep climbing in good.
Fact: Jannah has many levels, called darajat.
Ages 5–8: Climb. Climb stairs and talk about rising in good.
Ages 9–12: Ranks. Write how to rise in rank with Allah.
Finish with: "Jannah has many ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will add one new good habit."
Action: Add one new good habit.
