4-I guide
Until the Day whose time is fixed.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Does a race go on forever, or is there a finish line?"
Watch the IQRA Cartoon video Say Sorry.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How long will Iblis's time last?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "When is the appointed Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Sad is surah 38. Find ayah 81. The key word al-ma'lum means known or fixed. Iblis's time is not endless; it stops on a Day Allah has fixed. Only Allah knows when that will be. Every test has an end, and until then we can keep saying sorry and doing better.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah Luqman says only Allah knows when the Hour will come?
Ages 5–8: Finish line. Set up a short race with a finish line and talk about how every test has an end.
Ages 9–12: Countdown. Write how knowing there is a finish line can help you keep going.
Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Luqman ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say sorry the same day I upset someone."
Action: Say sorry the same day you upset someone.
