4-I guide
This ayah commands: do not push away the one who asks.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you feel when you ask for help and someone says 'Go away'?"
Watch the Earth Rangers video about a robin mother feeding her hungry chicks again and again.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who should we never push away?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What if I can't give what someone asks for?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Duha is surah 93. Find ayah 10. The key word as-sa'il means the one who asks: for help, for food or even for knowledge.
Fact: How many times a day does a robin feed its chicks?
Ages 5–8: Kind answers. Practise three kind ways to answer when someone asks for something, even when the answer is "not now".
Ages 9–12: Help desk. For one day, note every time someone asks you for something. How did you respond? What could you do better?
Finish with: "I found that robin parents feed their chicks about ___ times a day."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, when someone asks me for help, I will ___."
Action: Answer every request kindly this week, even with a gentle "not now".
