4-I guide
But as for the one who came to you, eager to learn…
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What's something you were so keen to learn that you rushed to it?"
Watch the Deep Look video about leafcutter ants.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did the blind man come?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be eager to learn about Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 8. The key word yas'a means hurrying, striving. The blind man made a real effort to come and learn, even though he could not see.
Fact: How heavy a leaf can a leafcutter ant carry?
Ages 5–8: Ant strength. Carry a book as far as you can. Then find out how many times its own weight an ant can carry!
Ages 9–12: Ant farmers. Find out what leafcutter ants do with the leaves they carry.
Finish with: "I found that a leafcutter ant can carry ___ times its own weight."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be early and eager for my Quran lesson."
Action: Be early and eager for your Quran lesson.
