4-I guide
Over it are nineteen guardians.
Start with bismillah.
Count to nineteen together on your fingers and toes. Ask: "Can 19 be split into equal groups?"
Watch the EasyTeaching video Prime and Composite Numbers.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What number is mentioned?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah tell us this number?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 30. The key words tis'ata 'ashar mean nineteen. The next ayah explains that these are angels guarding the Fire. Only Allah knows everything about them.
Fact: What is a prime number, and is 19 one?
Ages 5–8: Number 19. Make 19 with buttons. Can you put them in equal rows?
Ages 9–12: Prime hunt. Find all the prime numbers up to 50.

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn one fact about angels from a teacher."
