Opening the ayah…
لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌۭ
Lahum mmā yashā'ūna fīhā waladay'nā mazīdun
There will be for them therein all that they wish,- and more besides in Our Presence.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
There they will have whatever they wish, and with Us there is even more.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Have you ever received more than you asked for?"
Watch the T-Series Kids Hut video Gratitude: Celebrating Life's Blessings.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the people of Jannah have?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What could be more than everything we wish for?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Qaf is surah 50. Find ayah 35. The key word mazid means more. In Jannah, people get whatever they wish for, and Allah gives them even more on top. Many scholars say the greatest "more" is seeing Allah. Allah's generosity has no limit.
Fact: What is one gift from Allah you received today without asking?
Ages 5–8: Wish and more. Draw something you wish for, then add an even bigger surprise.
Ages 9–12: Unasked gifts. List ten gifts from Allah you never asked for.
Finish with: "I found that today Allah gave me ___ without asking."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will give someone a little more than they ask for."
Action: Give someone a little more than they ask for.
