Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How does a good teacher speak about students who make mistakes?"

Play the short clip from Al-Quran Al-Karim of Ahmad Al-Nufais reciting ayat 35–41 of Ibrahim.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Ibrahim say about those who disobey?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Ibrahim mention Allah's mercy here?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ibrahim is surah 14. Find ayah 36. Ibrahim saw that idols had led many astray. He said his true followers are those who follow his way. For those who went wrong, he did not wish them harm; he spoke of Allah's forgiveness and mercy.

Fact: Find where Allah calls Ibrahim gentle and caring (Hud 11:75).

Ages 5–8: Kind words. Practise a kind thing to say when someone makes a mistake.

Ages 9–12: Mercy. Write how Ibrahim's du'a shows a merciful heart.

Finish with: "From Hud 11:75 I learned ___."

Talk together:

• How did Ibrahim show mercy?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we speak kindly about people who do wrong?
• Who can you forgive?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for someone who upset me."

• Have a merciful heart.
• Practise kind words.
• Read your 'Mercy' writing aloud.
• Next time: the next ayah (14:37) tells where Ibrahim left his family. Explore it together!

Action: Make du'a for someone who upset you.
