4-I guide
And we did not feed the poor.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How much food do you think gets thrown away every day?"
Watch the Twinkl video Food Waste for Kids.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is their second answer?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I help feed people who are hungry?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 44. The key words nut'imul-miskin mean feed the poor. Right after salah comes feeding others. Many people waste food while others go hungry.
Fact: How much food is wasted around the world each year?
Ages 5–8: Clean plate. Take only what you can eat this week. Draw a smiley each time your plate is clean.
Ages 9–12: Waste watch. Weigh or count the food your family throws away in a week. How could you save it?
Finish with: "I found that about ___ of food is wasted each year."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help give food to someone in need."
Action: Help give food to someone in need.
