Opening the ayah…
مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّۭا لِّلَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَىٰلَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَدُوٌّۭ لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ
Man kāna ʻaduwan llillahi wamalā'ikatihī warussulihī wajib'rīla wamīkāla fa'inna -llaha ʻaduwun llil'kāfirīna
Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, to Gabriel and Michael,- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Anyone who is hostile to Allah, His angels, His messengers, Jibril and Mika'il should know that Allah stands against those who reject faith.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the angel Mika'il's job?"
A short clip on Taleem-ul-Islam & Quran recites ayat 96–100 of Al-Baqarah. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two angels are named?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why are they mentioned by name?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 98. Jibril brings revelation; Mika'il is linked to rain and provision. Loving Allah means loving His angels and messengers.
Fact: Mika'il is the angel linked with rain and provision.
Ages 5–8: Rain angel. Talk about rain and Mika'il.
Ages 9–12: Love all. Write why we love all Allah's angels.
Finish with: "Mika'il is linked with ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say alhamdulillah when it rains."
Action: Say alhamdulillah when it rains.
