4-I guide
That, then, would be a crooked, unjust sharing.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel when something isn't fair?"
Watch the Miss Sassycat's Storytime video It's Not Fair!
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does Allah describe their division?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah care about fairness?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Najm is surah 53. Find ayah 22. The key word dizah means crooked and unjust. Keeping the biggest share for yourself and giving others less is unfair. The people did this even in what they said about Allah. Allah is Al-'Adl, the Just, and He loves fairness.
Fact: What does the name Al-'Adl mean?
Ages 5–8: Feelings faces. Draw how you feel when something is fair and when it is unfair.
Ages 9–12: Fair fix. Write about something unfair you've seen and how it could be made fair.
Finish with: "I found that Al-'Adl means ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will give others the bigger share sometimes."
Action: Give others the bigger share sometimes.
