4-I guide
And they completely denied Our signs.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Have you heard 'red sky at night' sayings? Can the sky really warn us?"
Watch the THV11 video "Does a red sunrise indicate bad weather?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did they do with Allah's signs?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why would someone ignore clear signs?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba is surah 78. Find ayah 28. The key words wa kadhdhabu bi-ayatina kidhdhaba mean they denied Our signs completely. The word ayat means both signs in nature and verses of the Quran.
Fact: Why can a red sky in the morning mean rain is coming?
Ages 5–8: Sky watch. Look at the sky each morning and evening for a week. Draw what you see and the weather that followed.
Ages 9–12: Two kinds of ayat. Write three signs of Allah in nature and three ayat from the Quran that you love.
Finish with: "I found that a red morning sky can mean ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice one sign of Allah every day and say subhanAllah."
Action: Notice one sign of Allah every day and say subhanAllah.
