4-I guide
This is what you were promised, for everyone who keeps turning back to Allah and guards what He entrusted.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does it mean to turn back to Allah after a mistake?"
Watch the Robo Ramadan video What is Tawbah?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two qualities does this ayah praise?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How many times can I turn back to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Qaf is surah 50. Find ayah 32. The key words awwabin hafiz mean someone who keeps turning back and who guards. Jannah is promised to people who return to Allah again and again after mistakes, and who look after what Allah asked them to keep, like their salah and promises.
Fact: What are the steps of tawbah (turning back to Allah)?
Ages 5–8: Turn around. Act out walking away, then turning back with a smile. Talk about how tawbah is like this.
Ages 9–12: Guard list. List three things Allah has trusted you to look after.
Finish with: "I found that the steps of tawbah are ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say astaghfirullah every evening for anything I did wrong."
Action: Say astaghfirullah every evening for anything you did wrong.
