4-I guide
On that Day a person will run away from their own brother…
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do some animals escape when they're in great danger?"
Watch the NWPB Kids video "Why Do Lizards Lose Their Tails?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will people run from?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why would anyone run from their own brother?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 34. The key word yafirru means he flees. On that Day, everyone will be so busy with their own account that they run even from family.
Fact: How does a lizard regrow its tail?
Ages 5–8: Escape tricks. Draw three animals and how they escape danger (lizard, squid, rabbit).
Ages 9–12: Regrowing. Find out whether a lizard's new tail is the same as the old one.
Finish with: "I found that a lizard regrows its tail by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help a brother, sister or friend do a good deed."
Action: Help a brother, sister or friend do a good deed.
