4-I guide
The Prophet is told to give the believers good news of great bounty from Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the happiest news you ever shared?"
Watch the sees_all video Prophet Muhammad: Our Hero and Role Model.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What good news is given?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is Allah's great bounty?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ahzab is surah 33. Find ayah 47. The key word fadlan kabira means great bounty or favour. Allah's bounty is more than we earn; it is His generosity. It includes guidance, forgiveness, blessings in life and the reward of the Hereafter.
Fact: Which surah ends by saying that all bounty is in Allah's hand?
Ages 5–8: Bounty basket. Fill a basket with pictures of Allah's gifts to you.
Ages 9–12: Good news board. Make a board of good news from the Quran to share with family.
Finish with: "I found that it is surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share one piece of good news from the Quran."
Action: Share one piece of good news from the Quran.
