4-I guide
Allah says that He too has a plan, and His plan is always the one that wins.
Start with bismillah.
Show a recipe or a set of building instructions. Ask: "What happens if you follow a really good plan?"
Watch the National Science Foundation video "What is DNA?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah say He is doing?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is Allah's plan for me?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tariq is surah 86. Find ayah 16. The key words wa akidu kayda mean "and I am planning a plan". Allah's plan is always wise and fair. Those who plot against the truth can never get past it.
Fact: What does DNA do, and where is it found?
Ages 5–8: Bead plan. Make a bracelet following a colour pattern card. Did following the plan make it come out right?
Ages 9–12: DNA model. Build a twisted ladder from sweets and cocktail sticks (or paper strips). Label the parts.
Finish with: "I found that DNA is like a plan because ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, when I make a plan, I will say in sha Allah."
Action: This week, when you make a plan, say in sha Allah.
