Opening the guide…
4-I guide
On that Day a person will have no strength of their own and no one to help them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "When you were a tiny baby, what could you do by yourself?"
Watch the Brevard Zoo video showing a kangaroo joey growing up.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things will people not have on that Day?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If no one can help, what can we do now?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tariq is surah 86. Find ayah 10. The key words min quwwah wa la nasir mean no power and no helper. Only Allah's mercy, and the good we do now, will help on that Day.
Fact: How small is a kangaroo joey when it is born?
Ages 5–8: Pouch time. Make a "pouch" from a pillowcase for a soft toy. How does the joey stay safe?
Ages 9–12: Joey timeline. Find out what a joey can do at birth, at six months and at one year.
Finish with: "I found that a newborn joey is about the size of ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help someone who can't do something by themselves."
Action: Help someone who can't do something by themselves.
