4-I guide
After that, He spread out the earth.
Start with bismillah.
Look at a world map. Ask: "Do the continents look like puzzle pieces?"
Watch the Learn Bright video "Pangea for Kids".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah do to the earth?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah spread the earth out?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 30. The key word dahaha means He spread it out, made it wide and ready for life.
Fact: What was Pangaea?
Ages 5–8: Continent puzzle. Cut out the continents from a printed map and try to fit them together.

Talk together:
