Opening the ayah…

4-I guide
It is only those who do not believe in Allah's signs who make up lies; they are the ones who are lying.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who was really lying: the Prophet or his deniers?"
almuaiqly has the whole of An-Nahl by Maher Al-Muaiqly. Play just the first stretch.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who makes up lies?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why was the Prophet known as truthful?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 105. Deniers called the Prophet a liar, but they were the liars. The Prophet was famous for his honesty even before the Quran came.
Fact: Find out the title 'Al-Amin' (the trustworthy) given to the Prophet.
Ages 5–8: Truthful. Talk about why honesty earns trust.
Ages 9–12: Al-Amin. Write how the Prophet's honesty shows the Quran is true.
Finish with: "Al-Amin means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be completely truthful."
Action: Be completely truthful.
