4-I guide
Lut pointed his people to the women of the town and proper marriage, the right and pure way.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you show someone the right way?"
Listen together as Maher Al-Muaiqly recites part of Al-Hijr of Al-Hijr, a short clip shared by Mussab.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Lut point them to?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Lut point to marriage?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 71. Scholars explain that Lut, as a father to his nation, pointed his people to marriage with the women of the town, the right and pure way that Allah made. Ask your ustaz or ustazah for more.
Fact: Find the ayah about marriage bringing peace and love (Ar-Rum 30:21).
Ages 5–8: The right way. Talk about choosing the right way over the wrong way.
Ages 9–12: Pure way. Write why Allah's ways are pure and good.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask a parent one question about this story."
Action: Ask a parent one question about this story.
