4-I guide
This ayah describes the person who gives and is mindful of Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can you name a tree that gives something to animals or people?"
Watch the Woodland Trust video of one year in the life of an oak tree.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things does this person do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How much can one tree give?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Layl is surah 92. Find ayah 5. Look for two actions: giving, and being mindful of Allah (taqwa).
Fact: How many kinds of insects, birds and animals can live on one oak tree?
Ages 5–8: Tree gifts. Draw a big tree and around it draw everything it gives: shade, homes, acorns, oxygen, wood.
Ages 9–12: Acorn count. Collect acorns or other seeds in autumn (or look at a picture). Estimate how many one tree makes in a year.
Finish with: "I found that one oak tree gives ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will give ___ to ___."
Action: Show someone your "tree gifts" drawing.
