4-I guide
For something like this, let everyone who strives keep striving.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is something you worked really hard for?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should people work hard for?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What kind of work earns Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 61. The key word al-'amilun means the workers, those who strive. After describing Jannah, Allah says this is worth working for. People work hard for exams, matches and jobs. The greatest effort should go towards pleasing Allah: prayer, kindness, honesty and helping others.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah Al-Mutaffifin says that for this, let those who compete, compete?
Ages 5–8: Effort chart. Make a chart and add a star every time you try hard at a good deed.
Ages 9–12: Effort plan. Write three goals for this month that bring you closer to Allah.
Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Al-Mutaffifin ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will put extra effort into one act of worship."
Action: Put extra effort into one act of worship.
