4-I guide
The wrongdoers are truly lost, far from the right path, and heading for the blazing Fire.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is it so easy to get lost in fog?"
Watch the Kidz Orbit video Why Does Fog Happen?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How are the wrongdoers described?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I stay on the right path?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qamar is surah 54. Find ayah 47. The key word dalal means being lost. In thick fog, you can't see the road and may wander the wrong way. People who ignore Allah's guidance are lost in a similar way. The Quran is like a bright light that cuts through the fog.
Fact: What is fog made of?
Ages 5–8: Fog jar. With an adult, put hot water in a jar, add ice on top, and watch a little fog form.
Ages 9–12: Guidance list. Write five things that help you find the right way when you feel confused.
Finish with: "I found that fog is made of ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for guidance in every salah."
Action: Ask Allah for guidance in every salah.
