Opening the ayah…
وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ
Wa -ḍ'mum' yadaka 'ilā janāḥika takh'ruj' bay'ḍā'a min' ghay'ri sū'in 'āyatan 'ukh'rā
"Now draw thy hand close to thy side: It shall come forth white (and shining), without harm (or stain),- as another Sign,-

4-I guide
Allah told Musa to press his hand to his side, and it came out shining white without any harm, as a second sign.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you think 'without harm' means here?"
Tadabbur Daily has the whole of Ta-Ha by Ismail Annuri. Play just the first stretch.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did the hand come out?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why give Musa two signs?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 22. Musa's hand shone brightly but was healthy. It was a second miracle. Allah gave Musa clear signs so people would know he was truly sent.
Fact: Read 20:23: why were the signs given?
Ages 5–8: Two signs. Draw the staff and the shining hand side by side.
Ages 9–12: Clear proof. Write why two signs are stronger than one.
Finish with: "I found they were given to ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice two signs of Allah each day."
Action: Notice two signs of Allah each day.
