Opening the ayah…
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ
Likulli (i)m'ri'in mmin'hum' yaw'ma'idhin sha''nun yugh'nīhi
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
On that Day every person will have enough to worry about for themselves.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does every astronaut need their own spacesuit?"
Watch the Science Channel video "How Do Spacesuits Work?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will every person be busy with?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be ready for that Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 37. The key words sha'nun yughnih mean a matter that will keep him busy. Like an astronaut who needs their own suit, each of us needs our own good deeds.
Fact: What does a spacesuit do to keep an astronaut alive?
Ages 5–8: My kit. Draw a "good deeds suit" with pockets for prayers, kindness, honesty and Quran.
Ages 9–12: Suit parts. Find out five parts of a spacesuit and what each one does.
Finish with: "I found that a spacesuit keeps astronauts alive by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will add one thing to my good deeds suit every day."
Action: Add one thing to your good deeds suit every day.
