4-I guide
That is truly how We treat those who commit crimes.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do we need rules and fair consequences?"
Watch the Islamic Lessons Made Easy video Al-Qawiyy Explained.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is this ayah about?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah not let wrongdoing go unanswered?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 34. The key word al-mujrimin means the criminals, those who did serious wrong and never turned back. A world with no consequences would be unfair to everyone who was hurt. Allah, Al-Qawiyy, the All-Strong, makes sure justice happens. That protects the weak and comforts the wronged.
Fact: What does the name Al-Qawiyy mean?
Ages 5–8: Fair rules. Make three fair rules for a family game and stick to them.
Ages 9–12: Justice matters. Write why justice protects people who are weak.
Finish with: "I found that Al-Qawiyy means ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will stand up kindly for someone treated unfairly."
Action: Stand up kindly for someone treated unfairly.
