4-I guide
People will be sorted into three kinds.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How would you sort a pile of toys into three groups?"
Watch the Kids Academy video Sort Objects into Three Groups.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many groups will people be in?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Which group do I want to be in?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 7. The key words azwajan thalathah mean three kinds. Ayat 8 to 10 name them: the people of the right, the people of the left, and the foremost. We sort things by what they are like. On that Day, people will be sorted by what they believed and did.
Fact: What are the three groups named in ayat 8 to 10?
Ages 5–8: Sorting game. Sort a box of toys or buttons into three groups and explain your rule.
Ages 9–12: Read ahead. Find ayat 8 to 10 and write the name of each group.
Finish with: "I found that the three groups are ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will pick one good habit to practise every day."
Action: Pick one good habit to practise every day.
