Opening the ayah…
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَٰقَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمْ ءَامَنتُم بِٱللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّسْلِمِينَ
Wa qāla mūssā yāqaw'mi 'in kuntum' 'āmantum bi-llahi faʻalay'hi tawakkalū 'in kuntum mmus'limīna
Moses said: "O my people! If ye do (really) believe in Allah, then in Him put your trust if ye submit (your will to His)."
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Musa told his people that if they truly believed in Allah and submitted to Him, they should put their trust in Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who do you lean on when you feel scared?"
Settle down and play the start of Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary's Yunus (Full Quran).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Musa tell his people to do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do belief and trust go together?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 84. Musa's people were afraid of Pharaoh. Musa told them: if you believe in Allah, rely on Him. Real faith shows itself in trusting Allah when things are hard.
Fact: Find At-Talaq 65:3: whoever relies on Allah, He is enough for them.
Ages 5–8: Trust fall. Gently fall back into a parent's arms. Allah is even more reliable.
Ages 9–12: Trust plan. Write a worry and how you can trust Allah with it.
Finish with: "Whoever relies on Allah, He is ___ for them."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will hand one worry to Allah in dua."
Action: Hand one worry to Allah in dua.
