Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What makes a gift special?"

Today's clip is Maher Al-Muaiqly reciting ayat 4–6 on Komal Siddiqui. Close your eyes and think about 'A Gift Given Freely'.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How should the marriage gift be given?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Islam give the bride a gift?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 4. In Islam the bride receives a gift called mahr. It is hers to keep, showing respect and care. Gifts should be given with a happy heart.

Fact: Mahr is the marriage gift that belongs to the bride.

Ages 5–8: Happy giving. Give someone a small gift with a smile.

Ages 9–12: Gifts and respect. Write how gifts show respect.

Finish with: "The bride's gift is called ___."

Talk together:

• What is given?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Whose is it?
• Who will you give a gift to?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will give a small gift with a happy heart."

• Give freely.
• Respect others.
• Gifts bring love.
• Next time: the next ayah (4:5) speaks of those who can't manage money. Explore it together!

Action: Give a small gift with a happy heart.
