4-I guide
There will be companions with lovely wide eyes.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do your eyes see colours?"
Watch the Nemours KidsHealth video How Your Eyes Work.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah describe in this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah make everything in Jannah so beautiful?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 22. The key words hur 'in mean companions with beautiful eyes. Allah made pure and kind companions for the people of Jannah. Our own eyes are a wonder too: they let us see faces, colours and the whole world Allah made.
Fact: How many colours can the human eye tell apart?
Ages 5–8: Eye colours. Look carefully at your family's eyes and draw each colour you see.
Ages 9–12: Blind spot. Do a simple blind-spot test with a card and two dots, then find out why it happens.
Finish with: "I found that our eyes can tell apart about ___ colours."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will use my eyes for good things and look away from bad things."
Action: Use your eyes for good things and look away from bad things.
