4-I guide
It is a fitting reward for what they did.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "If you plant tomato seeds, what grows?"
Watch the SciShow Kids video "Watch a Seed Sprout!".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Is this reward fair?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Is Allah always fair?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba is surah 78. Find ayah 26. The key words jaza'an wifaqa mean a matching reward. What people plant with their deeds is what they will harvest. Allah is never unfair to anyone.
Fact: How does a seed "know" what kind of plant to become?
Ages 5–8: Plant and see. Plant two different seeds. When they sprout, can you tell which is which?
Ages 9–12: Seeds of deeds. Make a list of "seeds" (deeds) and what they might "grow" into.
Finish with: "I found that seeds grow into ___ plants."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will plant one good 'seed' every day."
Action: Plant one good 'seed' every day.
