Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What would you do if a whole crowd was gathered against you?"

Put on Saud Al-Shuraim's Yunus from IQRA AL-QURAN and follow along for a little while.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who did Pharaoh call for?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Pharaoh think sorcerers could beat a prophet?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 79. Pharaoh thought Musa's miracle was a trick, so he gathered his best sorcerers to beat him in front of everyone. He did not realise he was challenging Allah, not just a man.

Fact: Ta-Ha 20:59 says the meeting was on a festival day when people gathered.

Ages 5–8: Big day. Talk about how Musa might have felt before the big day.

Ages 9–12: Wrong plan. Write why Pharaoh's plan was doomed to fail.

Finish with: "The meeting was on a ___ day."

Talk together:

• Who did Pharaoh call?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why did Pharaoh's plan fail?
• Who helps you when you feel outnumbered?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah is with me when I feel alone."

• No one beats Allah's truth.
• Imagine Musa's feelings.
• Allah is with you.
• Next time: the next ayah (10:80) tells what Musa said to the sorcerers. Explore it together!

Action: Remember Allah is with you when you feel alone.
