4-I guide
Enter the Garden, you and your spouses, full of joy.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a family happy together?"
Watch the short talk by Yasir Qadhi, Families will be Together in Paradise. A grown-up may like to watch it first and explain.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who enters the Garden together?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will it be like to meet my family there?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 70. The key word tuhbarun means made joyful. Believers will enter Jannah together with their spouses, delighted. Surah At-Tur also says believers' children who follow them in faith will be joined with them. The joy of Jannah includes being with the people we love.
Fact: What does the word tuhbarun mean?
Ages 5–8: Joy jar. Write happy family moments on slips and put them in a jar.
Ages 9–12: Helping each other. Write three ways your family members help each other do good.
Finish with: "I found that tuhbarun means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remind a family member to pray, gently and kindly."
Action: Remind a family member to pray, gently and kindly.
