4-I guide
Musa named his brother Harun as the helper he wanted.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you love about your siblings or cousins?"
Settle down and play the start of Maher Al-Muaiqly's Ta-Ha (الشيخ ماهر بن حمد المعيقلي).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who did Musa name?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What made Harun a good helper?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 30. Harun, peace be upon him, was Musa's brother and became a prophet too. Musa loved and trusted him.
Fact: Find where Harun is called a prophet (Maryam 19:53).
Ages 5–8: Brother card. Make a card for a sibling or cousin.
Ages 9–12: Brotherhood. Write how siblings can help each other do good.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do something kind for a sibling or cousin."
Action: Do something kind for a sibling or cousin.
