4-I guide
Near it is the Garden of Refuge.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where do rescued animals find safety?"
Watch the Dodo Kids video Where Is This Wild Leopard Cub's Mom?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What garden is near the Lote Tree?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is Jannah called a refuge?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Najm is surah 53. Find ayah 15. The key words jannat al-ma'wa mean the Garden of Refuge, a home to shelter in. Rescued animals are taken to safe places where they can rest and grow. Jannah is the final, safest home of shelter and peace for the believers.
Fact: What does a wildlife refuge do for animals?
Ages 5–8: Safe home. Draw a cosy shelter for a small animal.
Ages 9–12: Refuge list. List places on Earth that give safety and shelter, and how Jannah is better.
Finish with: "I found that a wildlife refuge ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help someone feel safe and welcome."
Action: Help someone feel safe and welcome.
