4-I guide
Some faces will be shining with joy on that Day.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Have you ever seen the sea glow blue at night?"
Watch the 9 News clip of a beach glowing with tiny living lights.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will some faces be like?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes a face shine?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qiyamah is surah 75. Find ayah 22. The key word nadirah means shining, radiant. Tiny sea creatures can make the waves glow. Believers' faces will glow with happiness on that Day.
Fact: What makes some sea creatures glow?
Ages 5–8: Glow jar. With an adult, use a glow stick in a jar of water in a dark room. Watch it shine.
Ages 9–12: Glowing life. List five living things that make their own light.
Finish with: "I found that some sea creatures glow because ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will brighten someone's day with a kind word."
Action: Brighten someone's day with a kind word.
