4-I guide
He never believed in Allah, the Most Great.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you think you'd see if you zoomed out from a park all the way to the edge of space?"
Watch the Eames Office film Powers of Ten.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who did he not believe in?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can anyone look at creation and not believe?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 33. The key words billahil-'azim mean in Allah, the Great. The film zooms out by ten times every ten seconds, from a picnic to the edge of the galaxies. All of it was created by Allah, the Great. Belief starts with noticing His signs.
Fact: What does "ten to the power of three" mean?
Ages 5–8: Zoom drawing. Draw your house, your town, your country and the Earth in four boxes, each bigger.
Ages 9–12: Powers of ten. Write 10, 100, 1,000 and 1,000,000 as powers of ten.
Finish with: "I found that ten to the power of three is ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will point out one of Allah's signs to someone."
Action: Point out one of Allah's signs to someone.
