Opening the ayah…
فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
Fa-ṣ'daʻ' bimā tu''maru wa'aʻ'riḍ' ʻani l-mush'rikīna
Therefore expound openly what thou art commanded, and turn away from those who join false gods with Allah.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Proclaim openly what you are commanded, and turn away from those who worship others with Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "When is it time to speak up?"
Divisi Tahfidz Quran MIAS recites ayat 85–99. Listen for the command to speak out openly.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was the Prophet told to do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did the Prophet find courage?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 94. At first the Prophet called people quietly. Then Allah told him to share the message openly. Speaking truth needs courage.
Fact: Find the ayah about warning close relatives (Ash-Shu'ara 26:214).
Ages 5–8: Speak up. Practise saying something true in a clear voice.
Ages 9–12: Courage. Write about speaking up for what's right.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will speak up kindly for what's right."
Action: Speak up kindly for what's right.
