4-I guide
Allah swears by the Day that He has promised will come.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Are you sure the sun will rise tomorrow? Why are you so sure?"
Watch the Crash Course Kids video about the Earth's rotation.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What Day does Allah swear by?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "When will the promised Day come?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Buruj is surah 85. Find ayah 2. The key words al-yawm al-maw'ud mean the promised Day, the Day of Judgement. Only Allah knows when it will come, but His promise is always kept.
Fact: How long does it take the Earth to turn around once?
Ages 5–8: Day and night. Shine a torch on a ball. Turn the ball slowly. Where is it day and where is it night?
Ages 9–12: Sunrise times. Look up sunrise times for one week. Do they change? Why?
Finish with: "I found that the Earth turns once every ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep one promise I make, no matter what."
Action: Keep one promise you make, no matter what.
