Til'ka 'āyātu -llahi nat'lūhā ʻalay'ka bil-ḥaqqi . wa'innaka lamina l-mur'salīna
These are the Signs of Allah: we rehearse them to thee in truth: verily Thou art one of the messengers.

4-I guide
These are Allah's signs, recited to the Prophet in truth, and he is truly one of the messengers.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How did the Prophet know these old stories?"
A short clip on Sirajul_Quran recites ayat 251–255 of Al-Baqarah. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the Prophet?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do these stories prove he is a messenger?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 252. The Prophet couldn't read and wasn't there, yet he told these histories accurately. That shows he is a true messenger.
Fact: The Prophet was ummi, unable to read or write.
Ages 5–8: Story check. Retell Talut and Dawud's story.
Ages 9–12: Proof. Write why these stories show prophethood.
Finish with: "He is one of the ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will retell one Qur'an story to my family."
Action: Retell one Qur'an story to your family.
