4-I guide
What you are promised will certainly come to pass.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can scientists tell us the date of an eclipse years before it happens?"
Watch the WWLTV video about how solar eclipses are predicted.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How sure is this promise?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can we be so sure of something in the future?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mursalat is surah 77. Find ayah 7. All the oaths before lead to this. The key word la-waqi' means it will surely happen. The promise here is the Day of Judgement.
Fact: When is the next solar eclipse that people near you can see?
Ages 5–8: Eclipse model. Use a torch, a ball and a coin to show how the Moon can hide the Sun.
Ages 9–12: Eclipse calendar. Find the next three solar eclipses and where on Earth they can be seen.
Finish with: "I found that eclipses can be predicted because ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep one promise I've made."
Action: Keep one promise you've made.
Never look straight at the Sun, even during an eclipse.
