Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How can one unkind word start a fight?"

Hear the opening minutes of Al-Isra in Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary's voice, from خرائط القصص.

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Shaytan use words to cause trouble?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Isra is surah 17. Find ayah 53. Shaytan loves arguments and fights. Kind words block his tricks. Saying the finest words keeps friendships and families strong.

Fact: Find the ayah 'speak to people good words' (Al-Baqarah 2:83).

Ages 5–8: Best words. Practise turning a grumpy sentence into a kind one.

Ages 9–12: Word power. Write how words can build or break friendships.

Talk together:

• How do words cause fights?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What are the kindest words?
• Who needs kind words from you?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will use only kind words at home."

• Use kind words.
• Practise turning words.
• Share your writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (17:54) says your Lord knows you best. Explore it together!

Action: Use only kind words at home.
