4-I guide
Allah asks whether the story of Musa has reached us.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a story worth telling again and again?"
Play the short Ta-Ha clip of ayat 9–36 from Qur'an Madrasah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whose story begins here?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does the Quran tell Musa's story so often?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 9. Musa, peace be upon him, is mentioned in the Quran more than any other prophet. His story teaches courage, trust and patience. Ta-Ha tells it in detail.
Fact: Which prophet is named most often in the Quran? (Musa.).
Ages 5–8: Story circle. Sit together and share what you already know about Musa.
Ages 9–12: Story map. Start a map of Musa's journey as you read Ta-Ha.
Finish with: "I found it is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will follow Musa's story in Ta-Ha with my family."
Action: Follow Musa's story in Ta-Ha with your family.
