4-I guide
They will rest on couches lifted high.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens to your body while you are fast asleep?"
Watch the Peekaboo Kidz video Why Do We Sleep?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the people of the right rest on?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Will anyone feel tired in Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 34. The key words furush marfu'ah mean resting places raised up high. Here, our bodies get tired and need sleep to fix and grow. In Jannah, people rest in honour and comfort, with no tiredness at all.
Fact: What does the brain do while we sleep?
Ages 5–8: Bedtime routine. Draw your bedtime steps, ending with a du'a before sleep.
Ages 9–12: Sleep diary. Write down when you sleep and wake for five days and how you feel.
Finish with: "I found that while we sleep, the brain ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say my bedtime du'a and go to sleep on time."
Action: Say your bedtime du'a and go to sleep on time.
