4-I guide
…then Jannah will be their home.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What's the most beautiful garden you've ever seen?"
Watch National Geographic's garden time-lapse. (It has music.)
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where will the self-controlled believer live?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will my home in Jannah be like?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 41. The key words al-jannata hiya al-ma'wa mean Jannah is the home. Look back at ayah 39: two homes, two choices. Jannah is far more beautiful than any garden on Earth.
Fact: How many kinds of plants grow in a big botanical garden?
Ages 5–8: Dream garden. Draw your dream garden with flowers, trees and a river.
Ages 9–12: Compare. Write how ayah 39 and ayah 41 are similar and different.
Finish with: "I found that a big botanical garden can have ___ kinds of plants."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make dua for Jannah for my whole family."
Action: Make dua for Jannah for your whole family.
