4-I guide
And the comforts they used to enjoy.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What comforts do you enjoy every day?"
Watch the Wee Muslim Stories video Don't Waste Allah's Blessings.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What else did they leave behind?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I enjoy comforts and still be grateful?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Dukhan is surah 44. Find ayah 27. The key word na'mah means comfort and easy living. Pharaoh's people had soft beds, fine food and every luxury, and they enjoyed them without thanking Allah. Comforts are not bad, but they can make us forget. Gratitude and not wasting keep our hearts awake.
Fact: How much water does a dripping tap waste in a day?
Ages 5–8: Comfort count. Count five comforts in your home and say alhamdulillah for each.
Ages 9–12: Waste watch. Find one thing your family often wastes and suggest a fix.
Finish with: "I found that a dripping tap wastes about ___ a day."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will turn off the tap while brushing my teeth."
Action: Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
