Activity: Will your deeds reach Janna?Activity: Surah Summary Sheet
Have the children standing in pairs to face each other a
small distance apart.
Give one child labelled up as 'Earth', some balls to throw across to ‘Jannah’.
Actions and deeds which are done to please Allah, will last forever and benefit us in the hereafter.
Have the children continue, naming an action which will benefit us in the hereafter, before each throw. E.g. Charity, kindness, listening to parents, learning useful knowledge.

Next give ‘Earth’ some bubbles to blow across for ‘Jannah’
to catch. They will pop!
Actions and deeds which are done to build a good life only
in this world, are temporary and will be left behind on Earth when we die. They
will be of no use to us in the hereafter.
Go through a list of actions and deeds which are done to build a good life only in this world. E.g. having lots of money, having a fast car, lots of toys, watching tv, eating delicious food.

For older children:
Discuss the concept of intention and how sometimes even good actions can become bubbles
and pop – why? If
an action is done to show off etc, not only to please God, even if it is a good
deed, will not reach Jannah. Similarly, an action may appear a waste of time
like watching tv, but if done in moderation and with the intention to relax and
refresh ourselves so that we can serve God better, it becomes beneficial. Use the activity as a self reflection tool - How many balls and bubbles have I thrown across today?
