4-I guide
Leave Me to deal with the one I created alone, with nothing.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do baby sea turtles have when they hatch?"
Watch The Dodo video of baby sea turtles hatching and walking to the ocean.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How was this man created?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What did I have when I was born?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 11. The key words khalaqtu wahida mean I created him alone. Ayat 11 to 25 describe a proud man who was given much but mocked the Quran. Every person, like a baby turtle, begins with nothing. Everything we have is from Allah.
Fact: How do baby sea turtles find their way to the sea?
Ages 5–8: Gift list. Draw five things you have now that you didn't have when you were born.
Ages 9–12: Turtle journey. Find out how far sea turtles travel and how they return to the same beach.
Finish with: "I found that baby turtles find the sea by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for one gift each night."
Action: Thank Allah for one gift each night.
