4-I guide
Allah made you, so why won't you accept the truth?
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "If you zoomed in on your skin again and again, what would you find?"
Watch the Peekaboo Kidz video Human Cell.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question does Allah ask people here?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If Allah made me, what does He want from me?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 57. The key word khalaqnakum means We created you. Your body is made of trillions of cells, each one working hard without you even asking. This ayah begins a set of signs: if Allah made us once, believing that He can raise us again makes sense.
Fact: Which is the biggest cell in the human body?
Ages 5–8: Cell art. Draw a big cell with a round centre and colour its parts.
Ages 9–12: Cell parts. Label three parts of a cell and write what each one does.
Finish with: "I found that the biggest cell in the body is ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for one part of my body each day."
Action: Thank Allah for your body.
