4-I guide
Allah gave this man plenty of wealth.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where does money really come from?"
Watch the Sesame Workshop video How Do People Get Money?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was he given?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who really gives us what we have?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 12. The key words malan mamduda mean wealth spread wide. This man had farms, herds and trade. All of it came from Allah, but he forgot to be thankful.
Fact: How is gold found in rivers and rocks?
Ages 5–8: Thank-you jar. Each time you get something, write "from Allah" on a slip and put it in a jar.
Ages 9–12: Where it comes from. Pick one thing you own. Trace where it came from, all the way back to nature.
Finish with: "I found that gold is found by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share some of my pocket money with someone in need."
Action: Share some of your pocket money with someone in need.
