4-I guide
Your Lord's punishment will certainly happen.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you know for certain that the sun will rise tomorrow?"
Watch the Kiaraversekids video Why does the Sun seem to rise every morning?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do all the oaths in ayat 1 to 6 lead up to?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah use so many oaths before telling us this?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tur is surah 52. Find ayah 7. The key word la-waqi' means will surely happen. The mount, the book, the House, the sky and the sea are all sworn by to show this is certain. Just as morning always follows night, the Day of Judgement will come, when Allah judges everyone fairly.
Fact: Why does the sun seem to rise in the east every day?
Ages 5–8: Sure or not sure? Sort cards into "sure to happen" and "might happen".
Ages 9–12: Oath list. List the five things Allah swears by in ayat 1–6 and draw a symbol for each.
Finish with: "I found that the sun seems to rise because ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one extra good deed each day and keep it a secret."
Action: Do one extra good deed each day and keep it a secret.
