4-I guide
Glorify Allah at the start and the end of each day.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the first thing you do in the morning?"
Watch the WithWasan video Bedtime Duas and Adhkar.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When should we glorify Allah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why morning and evening?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ahzab is surah 33. Find ayah 42. The key words bukratan wa asila mean early morning and late afternoon. Starting and ending the day with Allah is like bookends that hold the whole day together. Tasbih means declaring Allah far above any fault.
Fact: At what time does the sun rise where you live tomorrow?
Ages 5–8: Sun and moon chart. Draw a sun and a moon and tick each time you glorify Allah at that time.
Ages 9–12: Bookend routine. Plan a short morning and evening dhikr routine.
Finish with: "I found that the sun rises at ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will glorify Allah when I wake up and before I sleep."
Action: Glorify Allah when you wake up and before you sleep.
