4-I guide
And proclaim the greatness of your Lord.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How many Earths do you think could fit inside the Sun?"
Watch the kidomind video comparing the sizes of Earth, the planets and the Sun.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should we say about our Lord?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If the Sun is so big, how great is the One who made it?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 3. The key words wa rabbaka fakabbir mean and your Lord, magnify. This is why we say Allahu akbar: Allah is greater than everything, even the giant Sun.
Fact: How many Earths could fit inside the Sun?
Ages 5–8: Size beads. Use a pea for Earth and a large ball for the Sun. How different are they?
Ages 9–12: Biggest stars. Find a star much bigger than our Sun. How many Suns would fit inside it?
Finish with: "I found that about ___ Earths could fit inside the Sun."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say Allahu akbar each time I see something amazing."
Action: Say Allahu akbar each time you see something amazing.
