4-I guide
This Quran is nothing but a reminder for all the worlds.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "If you could send one message to everyone in the world, what would it say?"
Watch the United Nations video about the Voyager Golden Record. (Watch it first.)
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is the Quran for?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can the Quran reach everyone?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Takwir is surah 81. Find ayah 27. The key words dhikrun lil-'alamin mean a reminder for all the worlds. The Quran is not for one people or one country; it's for everyone.
Fact: What did scientists put on the Voyager Golden Record, and where is it now?
Ages 5–8: World message. Draw a world map and add a heart in every continent: the Quran's message is for all of them.
Ages 9–12: Languages. Find out how many languages the meaning of the Quran has been translated into.
Finish with: "I found that the Voyager record is now ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share one beautiful meaning from the Quran with someone."
Action: Share one beautiful meaning from the Quran with someone.
