Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ
'Inna -llaha maʻa -lladhīna (i)ttaqaw wwa-lladhīna hum mmuḥ'sinūna
For Allah is with those who restrain themselves, and those who do good.

4-I guide
Allah is with those who are mindful of Him and those who do good.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who is Allah with?"
Play the last ayah of An-Nahl and say together: Allah is with those who do good.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two groups is Allah with?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does it feel that Allah is with me when I do good?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 128. Surah An-Nahl ends with a beautiful promise: Allah is with those mindful of Him and those who do good. Like bees making honey, keep making good.
Fact: Surah An-Nahl has 128 ayat. Look at your gifts list from the whole surah.
Ages 5–8: Bee busy. Be like a bee: do lots of small good deeds today.
Ages 9–12: Surah summary. Write five lessons from Surah An-Nahl.
Finish with: "My favourite lesson from An-Nahl is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do good like a busy bee."
Action: Do good like a busy bee.
