4-I guide
Pharaoh led his people the wrong way instead of guiding them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a good leader?"
Put on Islam Sobhi's Ta-Ha from تلاوة آيات القرآن الكريم and follow along for a little while.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Pharaoh do to his people?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does following the wrong leader hurt?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 79. A leader is like a compass. Pharaoh pointed the wrong way. We should follow leaders who guide to Allah.
Fact: How does a compass always point north? Find out.
Ages 5–8: Follow the leader. Play a game where the leader guides to a 'treasure'.
Ages 9–12: Good leaders. Write three things a good leader does.
Finish with: "I found a compass works by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will lead my siblings toward something good."
Action: Lead your siblings toward something good.
