Opening the ayah…
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا مُّجْرِمِينَ
Thumma baʻath'nā min[m] baʻ'dihim mmūssā wahārūna 'ilā fir'ʻaw'na wamala'iyhī bi'āyātinā fa-s'tak'barū wakānū qaw'man mmuj'rimīna
Then after them sent We Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our Signs. But they were arrogant: they were a people in sin.

4-I guide
Then Allah sent Musa and Harun with His signs to Pharaoh and his leaders, but they acted proudly and were a sinful people.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a person too proud to listen?"
Play the short Yunus clip of ayat 71–82 from SoulFul Qur'an.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who were Musa and Harun sent to?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah send two brothers together?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 75. Musa asked Allah to send his brother Harun with him as a helper. They went to Pharaoh, the proud ruler of Egypt, with clear signs. But Pharaoh and his chiefs were arrogant.
Fact: In Ta-Ha 20:29–32, Musa asks for Harun as his helper.
Ages 5–8: Brother helper. Help a brother, sister or friend with a task.
Ages 9–12: Pride. Write how pride stopped Pharaoh from listening.
Finish with: "Musa asked for his brother ___ to help him."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be a helper to a brother, sister or friend."
Action: Be a helper to a brother, sister or friend.
