4-I guide
And the reckoning will surely take place.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel when something unfair happens and no one fixes it?"
Watch the A Kids Co. video A Little Book About Justice.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will surely happen?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Will every wrong be put right one day?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Adh-Dhariyat is surah 51. Find ayah 6. The key word ad-din here means the repayment, the Day of Judgement. In this world, some wrongs go unpunished and some good goes unnoticed. On the Day of Judgement, Allah will put everything right with complete fairness.
Fact: What is the difference between being fair and being equal?
Ages 5–8: Balance it. Use a coat hanger and two cups to make a simple balance.
Ages 9–12: Fair fix. Write about something unfair you noticed and one fair way to fix it.
Finish with: "I found that fair and equal are different because ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will stand up for someone being treated unfairly, kindly and safely."
Action: Stand up for someone being treated unfairly, kindly and safely.
