4-I guide
Allah reminded Musa that He had already been kind to him once before.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can you remember a time Allah helped you when you were small?"
Play the short clip from Quranic Mindset of Sherif Mostafa reciting ayat 36–39 of Ta-Ha.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah remind Musa of?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why remember old favours before a new task?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 37. Before the hard mission, Allah reminded Musa how He had cared for him as a baby. Remembering past help gives us courage for the future.
Fact: Ask a parent: what help did Allah give our family when I was a baby?
Ages 5–8: Baby story. Ask a parent to tell a story of when you were a baby.
Ages 9–12: Favour list. Write three times Allah helped you in the past.
Finish with: "I learned that ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for a favour from my past."
Action: Thank Allah for a favour from your past.
