4-I guide
And keep your clothes clean and pure.
Start with bismillah.
Put a drop of oil on a plate of water, then add a drop of soap. Ask: "What happened?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should we keep clean?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah care about our clothes?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 4. The key words wa thiyabaka fatahhir mean and your clothes, purify. Being clean is part of being a Muslim. Many scholars say it also means keeping our hearts and actions clean.
Fact: How do soap bubbles grab dirt and wash it away?
Ages 5–8: Laundry helper. Help sort and fold clean clothes at home.
Ages 9–12: Soap test. Wash two dirty cloths, one with soap and one with water only. Compare them.
Finish with: "I found that soap cleans by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will put my dirty clothes in the wash basket every day."
Action: Put your dirty clothes in the wash basket every day.
