4-I guide
They will be raised on a mighty Day.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What's the biggest thing you've ever seen? How did it make you feel?"
Watch the BBC Earth Kids video "Is Everest The Tallest Mountain?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does Allah describe that Day?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is it called mighty?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mutaffifin is surah 83. Find ayah 5. The key words yawmin 'azim mean a mighty Day. It is greater than anything we can imagine, bigger even than the tallest mountain.
Fact: How tall is Mount Everest, and is it really the tallest mountain?
Ages 5–8: Tall tower. Build the tallest tower you can with cups or blocks. Measure it. Then compare it with Everest's height!
Ages 9–12: Mountain compare. Find the three tallest mountains on Earth and the tallest mountain from base to peak. Make a chart.
Finish with: "I found that Everest is about ___ metres tall."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one big good deed for that mighty Day."
Action: Do one big good deed for that mighty Day.
