4-I guide
This ayah ends Surah Al-Ghashiyah: then upon Us is their account.
Start with bismillah.
Walk across a damp patch of sand or soil. Ask: "What did you leave behind? How long might it last?"
Watch the Geology in a Jiffy video about how dinosaur footprints were made and kept for millions of years.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will take everyone's account?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If footprints can last so long, what about our deeds?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ghashiyah is surah 88. Find ayah 26, the last one. The key word hisabahum means their account, the record of everything they did.
Fact: How do footprints in mud turn into stone?
Ages 5–8: Footprint cast. Press your hand or a toy's foot into play dough. Let it dry. You've made a "fossil"!
Ages 9–12: Footprint detective. Find out what scientists can learn from a dinosaur footprint (size, speed, weight). Write three facts.
Finish with: "I found that footprints turn to stone when ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will leave a good footprint by ___."
Action: Leave a good "footprint": help, share or smile every day.
