4-I guide
Musa and Harun told Allah they were afraid Pharaoh would rush to harm them or go too far.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is it okay to tell Allah you are scared?"
Begin Ali Jaber's Ta-Ha on QuranicLight and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What were they afraid of?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did the prophets share their fear with Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 45. Even prophets felt fear. They told Allah honestly. We can tell Allah about our fears in du'a; He listens.
Fact: Read 20:46: how did Allah answer their fear?
Ages 5–8: Worry box. Draw your worries and put them in a box to give to Allah in du'a.
Ages 9–12: Honest du'a. Write a du'a telling Allah about a worry.
Finish with: "I found Allah answered ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell Allah my worries in du'a."
Action: Tell Allah your worries in du'a.
