4-I guide
And all who are on earth, if only that could save him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How much do you think the whole Earth weighs?"
Watch the BBC Earth Kids video How Much Does The Earth Weigh?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What would he offer?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What can really save us on that Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 14. The key words man fil-ardi jami'a mean everyone on earth. Even the whole Earth, with everything on it, could not buy safety on that Day. Only faith and good deeds help.
Fact: How do scientists work out the weight of the Earth?
Ages 5–8: Weigh it. Weigh five things at home. Imagine how heavy the whole Earth must be!
Ages 9–12: Big number. Write out Earth's mass in full. How many zeros does it have?
Finish with: "I found that the Earth weighs about ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one deed that only Allah sees."
Action: Do one deed that only Allah sees.
