4-I guide
This is a glorious Quran.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What's the most precious thing in your home? Why?"
Watch the Mystery Science video "How is gold made?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does Allah describe the Quran?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes the Quran glorious?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Buruj is surah 85. Find ayah 21. The key words qur'anun majid mean a glorious Quran: noble, full of good, and honoured. Gold never rusts, but the Quran is far more precious than gold.
Fact: Why doesn't gold rust or lose its shine?
Ages 5–8: Shine test. Put a coin, a paper clip and something gold-coloured in salty water for a few days. Which ones change?
Ages 9–12: Precious list. Find out three things that make gold valuable. Then write three things that make the Quran more valuable still.
Finish with: "I found that gold doesn't rust because ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will read or listen to the Quran every day, even for a few minutes."
Action: Read or listen to the Quran every day.
