4-I guide
This ayah names the climbers of the steep path: they will be among those on the right side.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "When your team works well together, how does it feel?"
Watch the short video about why snow geese fly in a V shape.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What are these people called?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes someone one of the people of the right?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Balad is surah 90. Find ayah 18. The key words ashab al-maymanah mean the people of the right side: the people of blessing and good. Ask your teacher what this means on the Day of Judgement.
Fact: How does flying in a V help geese save energy?
Ages 5–8: V walk. Walk in a V shape with your family. Take turns being the leader at the front.
Ages 9–12: Team list. Read ayat 13 to 17 again. Make a list of the deeds that make someone one of the people of the right.
Finish with: "I found that geese fly in a V because ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one of the 'right side' deeds: ___."
Action: Do your chosen deed from ayat 13 to 17.
