4-I guide
A big crowd of the foremost will come from the early generations.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do we show events from long ago in the right order?"
Watch the Learn Bright video Timelines for kids.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where do many of the foremost come from?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who were the believers who came before us?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 13. The key words thullah min al-awwalin mean a large group from the first people. Many believers long ago raced ahead in faith, often when it was very hard. We can learn from them and thank Allah for those who passed Islam down to us.
Fact: About how many years ago did the Quran begin to be revealed?
Ages 5–8: Family timeline. Draw a line with your grandparents, parents and you on it.
Ages 9–12: Big timeline. Make a timeline from the first revelation to today and mark your birth year.
Finish with: "I found that the Quran began to be revealed about ___ years ago."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for the people who taught my family Islam."
Action: Make du'a for the people who taught your family Islam.
