Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ
'Inna rabbaka huwa 'aʻ'lamu man yaḍillu ʻan sabīlihī . wahuwa 'aʻ'lamu bil-muh'tadīna
Thy Lord knoweth best who strayeth from His way: He knoweth best who they are that receive His guidance.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Your Lord knows best who strays from His path and who is rightly guided.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can we know who is truly guided?"
Settle down and play the start of a reciter's Al-An'am (SINAU QURAN).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who knows best?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why shouldn't we judge others' guidance?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-An'am is surah 6. Find ayah 117. Only Allah knows hearts. We focus on our own guidance and pray for others, rather than judging them.
Fact: An-Najm 53:32 says don't claim yourselves pure; He knows best.
Ages 5–8: My path. Talk about looking after your own good deeds.
Ages 9–12: Not judging. Write why only Allah knows who is guided.
Finish with: "Only Allah knows ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will focus on improving myself, not judging others."
Action: Focus on improving yourself, not judging others.
