4-I guide
Allah sent Nuh to his people, and he told them he was a clear warner to them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What would you do if you knew a big storm was coming?"
Islamic Media Life has the whole of Hud by Mishary Alafasy. Play just the first stretch.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who was sent to his people?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Nuh warn his people?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Hud is surah 11. Find ayah 25. The first big story in Surah Hud is of Prophet Nuh. He warned his people clearly and kindly, because he cared about them.
Fact: Surah Nuh (71) tells more of his story. Find how long he called his people (Al-'Ankabut 29:14).
Ages 5–8: Story start. Draw Nuh talking to his people.
Ages 9–12: Prophet chart. Add Nuh to your chart with his people and his message.
Finish with: "Nuh stayed with his people for ___ years (29:14)."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will warn a friend kindly if they are about to get hurt."
Action: Warn a friend kindly if they are about to get hurt.
