4-I guide
These people will be honoured in gardens.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What's the most beautiful garden you have ever seen?"
Watch the Revel video of beautiful gardens around the world.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where will these people be?"

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 35. The key words fi jannatin mukramun mean honoured in gardens. All the qualities in ayat 22 to 34 lead here. The loveliest gardens on Earth are only a tiny hint of Jannah.
Fact: How many tulips are planted each year at the Keukenhof gardens?
Ages 5–8: Dream garden. Draw your dream garden, then write one good quality from this surah under it.
Ages 9–12: Quality list. List the qualities from ayat 22 to 34. Which one will you work on?
Finish with: "I found that Keukenhof plants about ___ tulips."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will practise one quality from ayat 22 to 34 every day."
Action: Practise one quality from ayat 22 to 34 every day.
