4-I guide
Taste this, you who thought yourself so mighty and honourable.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Have you ever seen a show-off end up embarrassed?"
Watch the Children's Corner video Pride Comes Before a Fall.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did this person think of himself?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does pride end in shame?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Dukhan is surah 44. Find ayah 49. The key words al-'aziz al-karim mean the mighty, the honourable. In this world, this person boasted about his power and honour. On that Day, his own words will be turned back at him. True honour comes from humility and taqwa, not from boasting.
Fact: What does the word taqwa mean?
Ages 5–8: Proud or humble? Act out a proud walk and a humble walk, and talk about them.
Ages 9–12: True honour. Write what makes a person truly honourable.
Finish with: "I found that taqwa means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will let my actions speak instead of boasting."
Action: Let your actions speak instead of boasting.
