4-I guide
They also admit they called the Day of Judgement a lie.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is it true that ostriches hide from danger?"
Watch the Creature Curious video about the famous ostrich myth.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 46. The key words nukadhdhibu bi-yawmid-din mean we denied the Day of Judgement. The saying "head in the sand" means ignoring a problem. Ostriches don't really do it, but some people do ignore the truth.
Fact: What do ostriches really do when they're in danger?

Action: Face one thing you've been putting off.
