Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Do you have to shout for Allah to hear you?"

Ammar TV has a short clip of ayat 1–15 recited softly. Play the whole clip and listen for Zakariya's quiet du'a.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did Zakariya call his Lord?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why make du'a quietly?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 3. Zakariya's du'a was soft and secret. Allah hears even a whisper, so a quiet du'a stays just between you and Him.

Fact: Find the ayah in Al-A'raf about calling on your Lord humbly and in private (7:55).

Ages 5–8: Whisper du'a. Whisper a du'a so softly only Allah hears.

Ages 9–12: Private du'a. Write why a quiet du'a can feel special.

Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."

Talk together:

• When do you make quiet du'a?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does Allah hear whispers?
• What will you ask for quietly?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make a quiet du'a before sleeping."

• Make a quiet du'a.
• Teach whisper du'a.
• Share your writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (19:4) gives the words of his du'a. Explore it together!

Action: Make a quiet du'a before sleeping.
