Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Does anyone never make mistakes?"

Listen to the opening of Hazza Al-Balushi's Yusuf, from his own channel.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does the self push us towards?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah's mercy keep us safe?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yusuf is surah 12. Find ayah 53. Even after his innocence was shown, Yusuf stayed humble. Everyone has a nafs that can pull towards wrong. Only Allah's mercy protects us, and He is Forgiving and Merciful.

Fact: Ash-Shams 91:9–10 says whoever purifies the self succeeds. Read it.

Ages 5–8: Humble heart. Say 'alhamdulillah' when you do well instead of boasting.

Ages 9–12: The nafs. Write how we can train our self to do good.

Finish with: "Ash-Shams 91:9 says success comes to ___."

Talk together:

• Why was Yusuf humble?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do we train the self?
• When will you say alhamdulillah instead of boasting?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say alhamdulillah when I succeed."

• Stay humble.
• Say alhamdulillah.
• Share your writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (12:54) brings Yusuf before the king. Explore it together!

Action: Say alhamdulillah when you succeed.
