Opening the guide…
4-I guide
Allah told Musa not to fear, for he would come out on top.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What words would help you most when scared?"
As-Sudais and Ash-Shuraim recites Ta-Ha on quran4listeners. A few minutes is plenty.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah promise Musa?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did this promise change Musa's heart?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 68. Allah comforted Musa right away. With Allah's help, truth rises above tricks.
Fact: Find another ayah that says believers will be highest if they truly believe (Al Imran 3:139).
Ages 5–8: Mountain top. Draw Musa standing tall on a mountain.
Ages 9–12: Promise. Write a promise from Allah that comforts you.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will comfort someone who is scared."
Action: Comfort someone who is scared.
