Opening the ayah…
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ فِى ٱلسِّلْمِ كَآفَّةًۭ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Yā'ayyuhā -lladhīna 'āmanū (u)d'khulū fī ssil'mi kāffatan walā tattabiʻū khuṭūāti shshay'ṭāni . 'innahu lakum' ʻaduwun mmubīnun
O ye who believe! Enter into Islam whole-heartedly; and follow not the footsteps of the evil one; for he is to you an avowed enemy.

4-I guide
Believers, enter into Islam completely, and do not follow the footsteps of Shaytan, for he is your clear enemy.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can you be half a Muslim?"
Settle down and play the start of a reciter's Al-Baqarah (Islamic unique channel).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How should we enter Islam?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does 'completely' mean?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 208. Islam isn't just for the mosque; it's for home, school, play and work. We bring faith into all of life.
Fact: As-silm means Islam and also peace.
Ages 5–8: All of me. Show Islam at home, school and play.
Ages 9–12: Complete. Write how Islam fits every part of life.
Finish with: "Enter Islam ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will show good manners at school and home."
Action: Show good manners at school and home.
