4-I guide
He will cry that all his money did him no good at all.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What things in life can money never buy?"
Watch the Kids Zone video Money Can't Buy Everything.

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What can I take with me to the Hereafter?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 28. The key words ma aghna 'anni maliyah mean my wealth did not help me. Money stays behind when we leave this world. Only our deeds come with us, including money we spent for Allah's sake.
Fact: What were the first coins made from?
Ages 5–8: Can't buy list. Draw three things money can't buy, like love or kindness.
Ages 9–12: Two columns. List what money can buy and what it can't. Which list matters more?
Finish with: "I found that the first coins were made from ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will give a little of my money to help someone."
Action: Give a little of your money to help someone.
