4-I guide
On the Day the horn is blown, you will all come forward in crowds.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What's the biggest group of animals you've ever seen moving together?"
Watch the video of the wildebeest migration river crossing.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How will people come on that Day?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How many people will there be?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba is surah 78. Find ayah 18. The key word afwaja means crowds, groups after groups. Every person ever born will come forward when the horn is blown.
Fact: How many wildebeest take part in the great migration?
Ages 5–8: Crowd count. Draw 100 dots on a page. Now imagine a million!
Ages 9–12: Big numbers. Find out how many people live in the world today.
Finish with: "I found that about ___ wildebeest migrate each year."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will pray at least one salah in a group (jama'ah)."
Action: Pray at least one salah in a group (jama'ah).
