4-I guide
Allah gives them time, and His plan is firm.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why doesn't Allah stop every wrongdoer straight away?"
Play the short clip from TeachIslamLondon of Muhammad Al-Luhaidan reciting ayat 171–188 of Al-A'raf.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah give them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is Allah's plan firm?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 183. Allah gives time to everyone, a chance to change. But His plan is firm and nothing escapes it.
Fact: Al-Qalam 68:45 says the same.
Ages 5–8: Use time. Use extra time to fix something.
Ages 9–12: Firm plan. Write why Allah's plan can't fail.
Finish with: "My plan is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will use my time to improve."
Action: Use your time to improve.
