Today I can explain what sadaqah is and why giving in secret is special.

A Look back3 min

1.
In Salah (prayer), we bow in Ruku, then stand up straight again. What do we do next?
SujoodQiyamZakat
2.
In Surah Al-Asr, what comes straight after believing in Allah?
Doing good deedsGoing to sleepPlaying outside
3.

PalaceMountainSchool

B Watch me, then you4 min

Leila leaves some fruit at her neighbour's door. No one sees her do it. Is this sadaqah?

A bag of fruit left at a neighbour's front door

Watch me

Leila helps someone who needs it. That is giving to help others.

It is a free, kind choice, so it is sadaqah.

When no one sees, it is easier to give only for Allah. That is why secret giving is special.

Now you

1.
Ali tidies the kitchen for his mum and tells nobody. Is this sadaqah? Circle your answer.
Yes, it is sadaqahNo, it does not count because no one saw

C Your turn6 min

Read each row. Circle whether the kind act is done openly or in secret.

A wooden donation box with a coin and a bag of food on a plain background.

1.
Mia puts a coin in the box while her whole class is watching. Openly or in secret?
Openly, everyone can seeIn secret, only Allah knows
2.
Mia puts a coin in the box when no one is near. Openly or in secret?
Openly, everyone can seeIn secret, only Allah knows
3.
Mia gives a bag of food at the school gate while everyone walks past. Openly or in secret?
Openly, everyone can seeIn secret, only Allah knows
4.
Mia leaves the same bag of food at a neighbour's door at night. Openly or in secret?
Openly, everyone can seeIn secret, only Allah knows

Say it out loud: What stayed the same in each row, and what changed? Did the change make it open or secret?

D Spot the mistake3 min

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. Sujood If your child circles Qiyam, say we have just stood up from Ruku. Next we go down for Sujood.

2. Doing good deeds

3. Palace If your child circles School or Mountain, remind them of Yusuf's (AS) story. Ask: where did he become a helper to the king?

B

1. Yes, it is sadaqah If your child says it does not count, they think only seen acts count. Ask: does helping at home still help someone?

C

1. Openly, everyone can see If your child circles secret, ask: can the class see Mia? If yes, it is done openly.

2. In secret, only Allah knows If your child circles openly, ask: is anyone close enough to see? If not, it is in secret.

3. Openly, everyone can see

4. In secret, only Allah knows

D

1. Look for: Says Zara is wrong: secret giving still counts as sadaqah because Allah knows and sees it. If your child agrees with Zara, they think only seen acts count. Ask: who sees a secret gift? Does Allah see it?

E

1. Look for: Three kind acts, each marked openly or in secret, with a short reason for each.

Words to use

Say“Who would see this gift? Would it still be kind if no one knew?”

Instead of“Tell them giving only counts when other people can see it.”

After the sheet

Pick three small kind jobs at home, like tidying a shelf. Decide together whether each one is done openly or quietly, then do them.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
