4-I guide
This ayah turns to good news: other faces on that Day will be full of joy.
Start with bismillah.
Ask everyone to give their biggest smile. Ask: "What makes you smile like that?"
Watch the short Nature Lens video of the quokka, nicknamed the happiest animal in the world. (Visitors appear.)
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How will these faces look?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will make faces so joyful on that Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ghashiyah is surah 88. Find ayah 8. Compare it with ayah 2. The key word na'imah means soft, glowing and full of joy.
Fact: Where do quokkas live, and why do they look like they're smiling?
Ages 5–8: Happy faces. Draw a face for each good thing that happened this week.
Ages 9–12: Two faces. Make a two-column chart comparing ayat 2 to 7 and ayat 8 to 16. What makes the difference?
Finish with: "I found that quokkas live on ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make ___ smile by ___."
Action: Smile at everyone you greet this week.
