4-I guide
On the Day the sky shakes and sways.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Have you ever watched clouds racing across the sky on a windy day?"
Watch the Professor Paws video Why Do Clouds Move?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the sky do on that Day?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What keeps the sky steady now?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tur is surah 52. Find ayah 9. The key word tamuru means it sways to and fro. Today the sky above us looks calm and steady because Allah holds it in place. On the Day of Judgement it will move like waves. Clouds moving in the wind give us a small sign to ponder.
Fact: What makes clouds move across the sky?
Ages 5–8: Cloud race. Lie on the grass and watch which way the clouds are moving.
Ages 9–12: Wind diary. Record the wind direction and cloud speed every day for a week.
Finish with: "I found that clouds are moved by ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say subhanallah when I see clouds moving."
Action: Say subhanallah when you see clouds moving.
