4-I guide
Allah sent Musa to Pharaoh, who had gone far beyond all limits.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Would you be brave enough to speak to a cruel king?"
Begin Abdur-Rahman As-Sudais's Ta-Ha on Daily Recitation TV HD and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why was Musa sent to Pharaoh?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Musa find the courage?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 24. Pharaoh was a powerful ruler who treated people cruelly. Allah sent Musa to call him back to the truth. This was a huge, scary task.
Fact: Find the next ayat to see what Musa asked for (20:25–28).
Ages 5–8: Brave words. Practise saying something true politely to someone big.
Ages 9–12: Courage. Write what helps people speak up to wrongdoing.
Finish with: "I found Musa asked for ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will speak up kindly about something wrong."
Action: Speak up kindly about something wrong.
