4-I guide
And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens if you ignore the reminder to bring your coat?"
Watch the Deenies video Islamic Manners for Kids. Play the first few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did the deniers react to reminders?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people ignore good advice?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 13. The key word dhukkiru means they were reminded. Reminders are a gift: they help us before something goes wrong. Some people hear reminders again and again but never change. A wise person listens, thinks, and acts.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah Adh-Dhariyat says that reminding benefits the believers?
Ages 5–8: Reminder chart. Make a picture chart of daily reminders like brushing teeth and salah.
Ages 9–12: Advice log. Write down one piece of advice you received this week and what you did with it.
Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Adh-Dhariyat ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will act on a reminder the first time I hear it."
Action: Act on a reminder the first time you hear it.
