4-I guide
No indeed, this Quran is a reminder.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you use to help you remember things?"
Watch the Tender Intellects video about the invention of sticky notes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the Quran called here?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does the Quran remind us of?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 54. The key word tadhkirah means a reminder. We stick notes on the fridge so we don't forget. The Quran reminds us of Allah, the Hereafter and how to live well.
Fact: How were sticky notes invented by accident?
Ages 5–8: Reminder notes. Write three short reminders, like "Say bismillah", and stick them around the house.
Ages 9–12: Reminder list. Write five things the Quran reminds us about.
Finish with: "I found that sticky notes were invented when ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will put up a reminder ayah where my family will see it."
Action: Put up a reminder ayah where your family will see it.
