4-I guide
This ayah says: so enter among My servants.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel to be welcomed into a group of friends?"
Watch the BBC Earth video of a penguin chick trying to make friends in a huge colony.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will the peaceful soul join?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who are Allah's servants?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Fajr is surah 89. Find ayah 29. The key word 'ibadi means My servants. Allah calls the good people His own, a great honour!
Fact: How do penguin chicks stay warm and safe together?
Ages 5–8: Welcome cards. Make a "welcome" card for someone new at school or the mosque.
Ages 9–12: Good company. Write about three people who help you be good. What makes them good company?
Finish with: "I found that penguin chicks stay safe by ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will welcome ___ into our group."
Action: Give your welcome card.
