4-I guide
And that it is He who gives wealth and contentment.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can you be happy with what you already have?"
Watch the WEMA KIDS video Be Happy With What You Have.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two gifts does Allah give?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is contentment better than having lots of things?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Najm is surah 53. Find ayah 48. The key words aghna wa aqna mean He enriches and He gives contentment. Some people have a lot but always want more. Others have little but feel rich inside. Both wealth and a satisfied heart come from Allah.
Fact: What makes people feel content?
Ages 5–8: Enough box. Put three favourite things in a box and say why they are enough.
Ages 9–12: Rich inside. Write the difference between being rich in things and rich in the heart.
Finish with: "I found that people feel content when ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say alhamdulillah instead of asking for something new."
Action: Say alhamdulillah instead of asking for something new.
