4-I guide
And those who take care of what is trusted to them and keep their promises.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What should you do when you borrow a book from the library?"
Watch the Penny Sprouts video Borrow & Give Back!
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do these believers keep?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What things have been trusted to me?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 32. The key words li-amanatihim wa 'ahdihim ra'un mean they look after their trusts and promises. When we borrow something, we look after it and give it back. A secret, a job or a promise is a trust too.
Fact: How do libraries keep track of the books people borrow?
Ages 5–8: Borrow and return. Borrow something from a family member. Look after it and return it on time.
Ages 9–12: Trust list. List five things people trust you with.
Finish with: "I found that libraries keep track of books by ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will return everything I borrow on time."
Action: Return everything you borrow on time.
