Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Do you need special powers to be Allah's friend?"

Quran Recitaties has a short Yunus clip of Mansour As-Salimi reciting ayat 62–64. Play it all.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things do they do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does being mindful of Allah look like?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 63. Being a friend of Allah does not need wonders or fame. It needs two things: faith and taqwa, being careful to please Allah and avoid what He dislikes.

Fact: What taqwa means. One explanation is walking carefully on a thorny path.

Ages 5–8: Careful walk. Walk carefully around cushions on the floor, like taqwa.

Ages 9–12: Two steps. Write what faith and taqwa look like in a school day.

Finish with: "Taqwa is like walking carefully on a ___ path."

Talk together:

• What makes a friend of Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What is taqwa?
• How can you have taqwa today?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will stop and think 'would Allah like this?'"

• Believe and be mindful.
• Try the careful walk.
• Think before acting.
• Next time: the next ayah (10:64) gives good news to Allah's friends. Explore it together!

Action: Stop and think 'would Allah like this?'.
