Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What happens to people who refuse every chance?"

Put on Maher Al-Muaiqly's Hud from IbraheemAlHosani and follow along for a little while.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What followed 'Aad?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What can I learn from 'Aad's end?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Hud is surah 11. Find ayah 60. 'Aad's story ends seriously and briefly. They refused every chance and were removed. The lesson for us: accept good advice while there is time.

Fact: Find 'Aad's story in Surah Al-Ahqaf 46:21–26.

Ages 5–8: Lesson learned. Talk about one lesson from 'Aad's story.

Ages 9–12: Hud's story. Write three lessons from the story of Hud.

Finish with: "Al-Ahqaf 46:21 mentions ___."

Talk together:

• What happened to 'Aad?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What lesson do we learn?
• Which advice will you accept?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will accept one piece of advice without arguing."

• Learn from 'Aad.
• Talk together.
• Share your writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (11:61) begins the story of Salih. Explore it together!

Action: Accept one piece of advice without arguing.
