4-I guide
Allah has full power over His servants, and He is the Wise, who knows every detail.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel to know someone wise is in charge?"
A short clip on The Quran DVD recites ayat 11–20 of Al-An'am. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names end this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does it mean that Allah has full power over His servants?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-An'am is surah 6. Find ayah 18. Allah's power and majesty are over all His creation, without place or body. He is Al-Qahir, the One who has power over all, and Al-Hakim, Al-Khabir: wise and fully aware.
Fact: Al-Khabir means the One aware of every hidden detail.
Ages 5–8: Wise choices. Talk about a time a wise adult helped you.
Ages 9–12: Names study. Write the meanings of Al-Qahir, Al-Hakim and Al-Khabir.
Finish with: "Allah is Wise and fully ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will trust Allah when something doesn't go my way."
Action: Trust Allah when something doesn't go your way.
