4-I guide
They said they had already told Lut not to host or protect anyone.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens when people don't want to hear good advice?"
MY QURAN shares Al-Husary reciting Al-Hijr. Play just the start.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What had they forbidden Lut?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did they refuse Lut's reminder?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 70. The people rejected Lut's words and tried to stop his kindness to strangers. Stubborn hearts reject good advice.
Fact: Find where they threatened to throw Lut out (Ash-Shu'ara 26:167).
Ages 5–8: Listen. Practise accepting a reminder without arguing.
Ages 9–12: Stubborn. Write why stubbornness hurts.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will accept a reminder without arguing."
Action: Accept a reminder without arguing.
