4-I guide
It is a warm welcome prepared by One who forgives and shows mercy.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does your family welcome guests?"
Watch the Zill Noorain Kids video What Are the Rights of Guests in Islam?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who prepares this welcome?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is Jannah called a welcome gift?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Fussilat is surah 41. Find ayah 32. The key word nuzulan means a welcoming gift for a guest. When special guests visit, we prepare food and a warm welcome. Allah describes Jannah as the welcome He has prepared for believers, from Al-Ghafur and Ar-Rahim. If people's welcome is lovely, imagine Allah's!
Fact: Which prophet hurried to serve a roasted calf to his guests?
Ages 5–8: Guest ready. Help prepare a tray of drinks or snacks for visitors.
Ages 9–12: Host plan. Plan how to welcome a guest: greeting, seat, drink and a kind question.
Finish with: "I found that the prophet was ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will welcome a guest or family member warmly."
Action: Welcome a guest or family member warmly.
