4-I guide
Every word they hear is a greeting of peace, again and again.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What can you do when you and a friend disagree?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will people say to each other in Jannah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is 'peace' such a special greeting?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 26. The key words salaman salama mean peace, peace. As-Salam is also one of Allah's names. When we say assalamu alaykum, we wish peace on each other, just as the people of Jannah do.
Fact: How do you say "peace" in five different languages?
Ages 5–8: Salam game. Greet each person at home with salam today, and count how many replies you get.
Ages 9–12: Peace steps. Write four steps to calm a disagreement, and try them next time.
Finish with: "I found that peace is ___ in another language."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will greet my family with salam every morning."
Action: Greet your family with salam every morning.
