4-I guide
…and with awe of Allah in his heart…
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Have you ever had goosebumps from something amazing, not from cold?"
Watch the SciShow Kids video "Why Do We Get Goosebumps?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was in the blind man's heart?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does it mean to feel awe of Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 9. The key word yakhsha means he feels awe, a loving respect for Allah. This feeling is what made him come to learn.
Fact: Why do the hairs on our arms stand up?
Ages 5–8: Spiky animals. Draw three animals that make their hair or quills stand up (cat, porcupine, hedgehog).
Ages 9–12: Body signals. Find out what other things our bodies do when we feel strong emotions.
Finish with: "I found that goosebumps happen because ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice something amazing and say Allahu akbar."
Action: Notice something amazing and say Allahu akbar.
