4-I guide
Rather, Allah raised 'Isa up to Himself, and Allah is Mighty and Wise.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How powerful is Allah?"
Our listening today is a recitation of ayat 151–160, posted by Abdul Razak. Keep 'Raised to Allah' in mind while you listen.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does this show about Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 158. Allah raised 'Isa in a way only He knows. Muslims believe 'Isa will return before the end of time.
Fact: What Muslims believe about 'Isa's return? He will return before the Last Day.
Ages 5–8: Allah is Mighty. Say 'Allahu Akbar' and think about His power.
Ages 9–12: Mighty and Wise. Write how this ayah shows both names.
Finish with: "Allah is Mighty and ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say Allahu Akbar when I see something amazing."
Action: Say Allahu Akbar when you see something amazing.
