4-I guide
This ayah says: to Us is their return.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "However far you go, what helps you find your way home?"
Watch the Everything Science video about how bees find their way back to the hive.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "To whom does everyone return?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do bees always find the hive?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ghashiyah is surah 88. Find ayah 25. The key word iyabahum means their return. You met this idea in Surah Al-'Alaq (96:8) too.
Fact: How far can a honeybee fly from its hive and still find its way back?
Ages 5–8: Home trail. Walk around your garden or home, then try to walk straight back to where you started without looking. How close were you?
Ages 9–12: Bee navigation. Find out three things bees use to find home (the sun, landmarks, smell). Which do people use too?
Finish with: "I found that bees find home using ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do ___ to get ready for my return to Allah."
Action: Do one deed each day for your return to Allah.
