4-I guide
Pharaoh went away, gathered his plan and tricks, then came back.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can any plan beat Allah's plan?"
Islam Sobhi recites Ta-Ha on Ibraheemo_sensei. A few minutes is plenty.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Pharaoh gather?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Pharaoh work so hard against the truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 60. Pharaoh gathered magicians and schemes. People plan, but Allah's plan always wins.
Fact: Find the ayah about Allah's planning in Al-Anfal (8:30).
Ages 5–8: Planning game. Plan a small project and see what changes.
Ages 9–12: Best planner. Write why trusting Allah's plan helps.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will plan something good and say insha'Allah."
Action: Plan something good and say insha'Allah.
