4-I guide
Only those who kept on sinning will eat it.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is making a mistake the same as choosing to keep doing wrong?"
Watch the ClassDojo video Growth Mindset (2 of 5).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will eat that food?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do I stop a mistake from becoming a habit?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 37. The key word al-khati'un means those who keep doing wrong on purpose. Everyone makes mistakes. What matters is learning, saying sorry and trying again, not carrying on in the wrong.
Fact: What happens in your brain when you practise something hard?
Ages 5–8: Eraser lesson. Write a word wrong, rub it out and write it right. Mistakes can be fixed!
Ages 9–12: Mistake log. Write down one mistake each day this week and what you learned.
Finish with: "I found that practising something hard makes the brain ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will fix one mistake instead of hiding it."
Action: Fix one mistake instead of hiding it.
