4-I guide
And a cup filled to the brim.
Start with bismillah.
Fill a glass with water to the very top. Ask: "What does 'full to the brim' mean?"
Watch Smartie the Alpaca's video "Why Is There Dew in the Morning?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the righteous be given?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will Jannah's drink be like?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba is surah 78. Find ayah 34. The key words ka'san dihaqa mean a full, overflowing cup. Jannah's drinks are pure and special, unlike any drink of this world.
Fact: Where does morning dew come from?
Ages 5–8: Dew hunt. Go out early in the morning and look for dew on grass and webs. Draw what you see.
Ages 9–12: Make dew. Put ice in a metal cup and watch drops form on the outside. Why?
Finish with: "I found that dew forms when ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will serve drinks to my family before myself."
Action: Serve drinks to your family before yourself.
