4-I guide
It is for the one who asks and for the one who is in need but does not ask.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can someone need help even if they don't ask for it?"
Watch the Mental Health Center Kids video Kindness for Kids.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who are the two kinds of people mentioned?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I notice people who need help but don't ask?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 25. The key words lis-sa'ili wal-mahrum mean for the one who asks and the one who is deprived. Some people ask for help. Others are too shy or too proud to ask. Believers notice both.
Fact: What are some ways to help people quietly?
Ages 5–8: Kind eyes. For one day, look for someone who might need help. What did you notice?
Ages 9–12: Quiet help. Plan a way to help someone without embarrassing them.
Finish with: "I found that we can help quietly by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice and quietly help someone who didn't ask."
Action: Notice and quietly help someone who didn't ask.
