Ranks specially bestowed by Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy. For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

4-I guide
For those who strive are ranks from Allah, forgiveness and mercy, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What three gifts does Allah give here?"
Rashed Zzaman shares a recitation of ayat 91–100. As it plays, think about today's idea: Ranks and Mercy.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What three gifts are named?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does mercy come with ranks?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 96. Allah raises those who make effort and covers their mistakes with mercy. Everyone can climb.
Fact: The Prophet taught that Jannah has a hundred levels (Bukhari).
Ages 5–8: Climb up. Climb stairs naming a good deed for each step.
Ages 9–12: Ranks. Write how good deeds raise our level.
Finish with: "Jannah has a hundred ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will add one good habit."
Action: Add one good habit.
