Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who gets to make the rules about food?"

Listen together as Muhammad Al-Luhaidan recites ayat 57–61 of Yunus, a short clip shared by Quran Caption - English.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did people do with Allah's provision?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why only Allah decides what is halal and haram?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 59. Some people made up their own rules, forbidding some animals and crops without Allah's permission. Only Allah decides what is halal and haram, and He has made most good things allowed.

Fact: What halal and haram mean.

Ages 5–8: Halal picnic. Name foods that are halal and good for you.

Ages 9–12: Rules from Allah. Write why only Allah decides halal and haram.

Finish with: "Halal means ___."

Talk together:

• What did they make up?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who decides halal and haram?
• Which good food are you thankful for?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for halal food."

• Only Allah decides.
• Plan a halal picnic.
• Be thankful for food.
• Next time: the next ayah (10:60) speaks of Allah's bounty to people. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah for halal food.
