4-I guide
This ayah tells us the clear evidence was a messenger from Allah, reciting pages kept pure.
Start with bismillah.
Touch a page of an old book and a page of a new one. Ask: "What is paper made of? How do we keep special pages clean?"
Watch the animation that shows how paper is made from trees.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who came, and what was he reciting?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do we keep the mushaf so clean and special?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Bayyinah is surah 98. Find ayah 2. The messenger here is Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Look for the words about pages that are pure.
Fact: What part of a tree becomes paper?
Ages 5–8: Paper hunt. Collect five kinds of paper at home (tissue, card, newspaper…). Which is strongest? Which soaks up water fastest?
Ages 9–12: Make paper. With an adult, tear scrap paper into water, blend it into pulp, spread it on a cloth and let it dry. You've made a brand-new page!
Finish with: "I found that paper is made from ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will look after my mushaf by ___."
Action: Make a cloth cover or a clean shelf spot for your mushaf.
Only an adult should use a blender.
