4-I guide
Allah knows best what they keep hidden inside themselves.
Start with bismillah.
Show a plain-looking rock. Ask: "What might be inside it?"
Watch the SciShow Kids video "What's Inside These Rocks?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah know?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Does Allah know what I'm feeling right now?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Inshiqaq is surah 84. Find ayah 23. The key word yu'un means what they gather and keep inside (in their hearts). People can't see inside each other, but Allah knows.
Fact: How many years can it take for a geode to fill with crystals?
Ages 5–8: Crystal egg. With an adult, grow alum or salt crystals inside half an eggshell over a few days.
Ages 9–12: Inside out. Find out how geodes form over thousands of years. Why are they plain on the outside?
Finish with: "I found that a geode can take ___ years to form."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one good deed with a sincere heart, only for Allah."
Action: Do one good deed with a sincere heart, only for Allah.
