4-I guide
Pharaoh asked Musa who their Lord was.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How would you answer if someone asked you who Allah is?"
Grown-ups can preview Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera's talk about Ta-Ha on ZamZamAcademy and choose one simple idea to share.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question did Pharaoh ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I answer simply and clearly?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 49. Pharaoh claimed to be a lord himself. He asked Musa the big question. Musa's answer in the next ayah is short and powerful.
Fact: Find Pharaoh's claim in Surah An-Nazi'at (79:24).
Ages 5–8: My answer. Draw what shows you Allah is your Lord.
Ages 9–12: Big question. Write your own short answer to 'Who is your Lord?'
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn a short answer about who Allah is."
Action: Learn a short answer about who Allah is.
