Opening the ayah…
لَن تَنَالُوا۟ ٱلْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا۟ مِن شَىْءٍۢ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌۭ
Lan tanālū l-birra ḥattā tunfiqū mimmā tuḥibbūna . wamā tunfiqū min shay''in fa'inna -llaha bihī ʻalīmun
By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth Allah knoweth it well.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
You will never reach true righteousness until you give from what you love, and whatever you give, Allah knows it.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is it harder to give away something you love?"
Listen together as Mishary Alafasy recites ayat 92–100 of Ali 'Imran, a short clip shared by MZG.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What must we give from?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does giving what we love bring righteousness?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 92. When this ayah came, Abu Talhah gave his favourite garden, Bayruha', in charity. Giving what we love shows real goodness.
Fact: Abu Talhah gave his favourite garden, Bayruha', after hearing this ayah (Bukhari).
Ages 5–8: Love gift. Share something you really like.
Ages 9–12: Hard giving. Write why giving what you love is special.
Finish with: "Give from what you ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share something I love."
Action: Share something you love.
