4-I guide
Allah distanced Shaytan from His mercy, and Shaytan vowed to take a share of Allah's servants for himself.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who is our real enemy?"
Our listening today is a recitation of ayat 111–120, posted by Rashed Zzaman. Keep 'Shaytan's Vow' in mind while you listen.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Shaytan vow?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do we stay out of his share?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 118. Shaytan openly declared his plan. Knowing our enemy helps us guard ourselves with dhikr and good deeds.
Fact: Fatir 35:6 says Shaytan is your enemy, so treat him as one.
Ages 5–8: Guard up. Say a'udhu billah before eating and sleeping.
Ages 9–12: Know your enemy. Write how to guard against Shaytan.
Finish with: "Shaytan is your ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say a'udhu billah at key moments."
Action: Say a'udhu billah at key moments.
