Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How does Allah treat people who keep going after hard times?"

A short clip on Muslim Ummah recites ayah 110 of An-Nahl. Play the whole clip.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names end the ayah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does patience after hardship earn mercy?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 110. People who were tested, left home, kept striving and stayed patient receive Allah's forgiveness and mercy. Hard times followed by patience bring great reward.

Fact: Search the Quran for Al-'Ankabut 29:69 about striving for Allah.

Ages 5–8: Keep going. Talk about a time you kept going after something hard.

Ages 9–12: Striving. Write what striving for Allah looks like for a child.

Finish with: "Al-'Ankabut 29:69 says ___."

Talk together:

• Who receives mercy?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why keep going?
• Where will you strive?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep going with something hard."

• Keep striving.
• Talk together.
• Tell someone one line from your striving writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (16:111) speaks of every soul pleading. Explore it together!

Action: Keep going with something hard.
