Opening the ayah…
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِٱللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ
Wa mā yu''minu 'ak'tharuhum bi-llahi 'illā wahum mmush'rikūna
And most of them believe not in Allah without associating (other as partners) with Him!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Many who say they believe in Allah still give Him partners alongside Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is pure water better than mixed water?"
Begin Abdul Basit Abdus-Samad's Yusuf on fawazh695 and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do many people mix with their belief?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I keep my belief pure?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yusuf is surah 12. Find ayah 106. Many people believe in Allah but also rely on other things as if they had power. Pure tawhid means trusting and worshipping Allah alone.
Fact: Al-Ikhlas means sincerity or purity. Read Surah 112 and see why.
Ages 5–8: Pure water. Compare a glass of clear water with one with dirt in it.
Ages 9–12: Pure tawhid. Write ways to keep our belief pure.
Finish with: "Al-Ikhlas means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say 'only Allah can help' when I need help."
Action: Say 'only Allah can help' when you need help.
