4-I guide
All this is because they claim the Most Merciful has a son.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does the ayah repeat the name Ar-Rahman?"
Begin Mishary Alafasy's Maryam on Cinta Al-Qur'an and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which name of Allah is used?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why use the name 'the Most Merciful' here?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 91. Ar-Rahman is mentioned again and again in this part. Allah's mercy covers everything; He needs no son. His mercy is for all His servants.
Fact: Find the ayah that says Allah's mercy covers all things (Al-A'raf 7:156).
Ages 5–8: Mercy everywhere. Draw ways Ar-Rahman shows mercy.
Ages 9–12: Ar-Rahman. Write what this name teaches you.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will show mercy to an animal or person."
Action: Show mercy to an animal or person.
