4-I guide
When it is Allah who created you and whatever you do.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who made the wood, stone and clay that people build with?"
Watch the Islamic Lessons Made Easy video Al-Khaliq Explained.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah create?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If Allah made me, does He also make my abilities?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 96. The key word khalaqakum means He created you. Allah created people, their hands, their skills and the very materials they use. Even our talents are gifts from Al-Khaliq. When we make something good, we thank Him for the ability.
Fact: What does the name Al-Khaliq mean?
Ages 5–8: Talent thanks. Say one thing you are good at and thank Allah for that gift.
Ages 9–12: Talent for good. Write how you could use one of your talents to help others.
Finish with: "I found that Al-Khaliq means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will use one of my talents to help someone."
Action: Use one of your talents to help someone.
