Juz by Juz: The Hypocrites

Juz by Juz: The Hypocrites is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children talk about the Day of Judgement, the bridge everyone must cross, and the light Allah gives the believers, from verses of Surah Al-Hadid.

On the Day of Judgement there will be a bridge, the Sirat, over Jahannam. The Sheikh tells the children it will be thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword, as the scholars describe it, and that it will be dark. How will anyone cross? The believers will have light shining in front of them, and at the other end, the Sheikh says, is their home in Jannah. The hypocrites, people who say one thing and do another, will ask the believers to wait so that they can take some of their light. But they will be told to go back and look for light, and a wall will be put up between them.

Then the Sheikh turns to a verse about rain: Allah gives life to the earth after it has died. Just as rain gives life to the soil, the Qur'an gives life to our hearts. The more Qur'an we recite, the more light we have; if we stop, our hearts grow dark. He ends by teaching the children to recite Ayat al-Kursi after each prayer and before sleep.

The children draw their house in Jannah and something that grows out of the soil, and answer a quiz about the name of the Prophet's ﷺ mother, the Friday prayer and which foot we use to leave the bathroom.

• Surah Al-Hadid 57:12-13: On the Day, the believers' light runs before them; the hypocrites ask them to wait so they can take some of it, are told to go back and seek light, and a wall is set between them.
• Surah Al-Hadid 57:16-17: Has the time not come for the hearts of the believers to be humbled by the remembrance of Allah? Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death.
