4-I guide
Out of His mercy, Allah gave Musa his brother Harun as a prophet too.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How can a brother or sister be a gift?"
Begin Ismail Annuri's Maryam on Tadabbur Daily and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why did Allah give Harun?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How was Harun a mercy?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 53. Musa asked for a helper, and Allah made his brother Harun a prophet. Family can be a mercy when we help each other do good.
Fact: Find where Musa asks for Harun (Ta-Ha 20:29–30).
Ages 5–8: Sibling gift. Do something kind for a sibling or cousin.
Ages 9–12: Mercy of family. Write how a family member helps you.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help a sibling or cousin."
Action: Help a sibling or cousin.
