4-I guide
Allah formed them in a brand-new way.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Are new stars still being made in space today?"
Watch the Science Channel video A Star is Born.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did Allah make the companions of Jannah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah keep creating new things?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 35. The key word insha' means bringing into being, creating something new. Even now, new stars are forming in giant clouds of gas and dust. Allah creates whatever He wills, and He created the companions of Jannah in a special new way.
Fact: How is a new star born?
Ages 5–8: Star jar. Shake a jar of water with a pinch of glitter and watch it swirl like a star cloud.
Ages 9–12: Star nursery. Find a picture of a nebula where stars form and write three facts about it.
Finish with: "I found that new stars form inside ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say subhanAllah when I see something new and amazing."
Action: Say subhanAllah when you see something new and amazing.
