4-I guide
And to our Lord we will surely return.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where is the final destination of every journey?"
Watch the Learn with Aunty Em song We Belong to Allah, sung with voices only.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where will we all return?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I pack well for the journey back to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 14. The key word la-munqalibun means we will surely return. The travel du'a ends with these words. Every small journey reminds us of the big journey of life, which ends when we return to Allah. Wise travellers pack what they need; our good deeds are our luggage.
Fact: What do people pack for a long journey?
Ages 5–8: Deeds suitcase. Draw a suitcase and fill it with good deeds.
Ages 9–12: Journey map. Draw your life as a road and mark good deeds as stops along the way.
Finish with: "I found that travellers pack ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will add one good deed to my 'suitcase' every day."
Action: Add one good deed to your 'suitcase' every day.
