4-I guide
There will be fruit in great amounts.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Could one tree grow forty different kinds of fruit?"
Watch the National Geographic video This Crazy Tree Grows 40 Kinds of Fruit.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How much fruit is in Jannah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How many kinds of fruit has Allah created?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 32. The key words fakihah kathirah mean a lot of fruit. On Earth, a skilled gardener can join branches so one tree gives many kinds of fruit. In Jannah, there is more fruit than anyone could ever count.
Fact: How can one tree grow many kinds of fruit?
Ages 5–8: Fruit rainbow. Lay out fruits of every colour you can find to make a rainbow.
Ages 9–12: Grafting. Find out what grafting is and draw how a branch is joined to a tree.
Finish with: "I found that grafting means ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will try a fruit I have never eaten before and thank Allah."
Action: Try a fruit you have never eaten before and thank Allah.
