4-I guide
Musa then asked the Samiri what he had to say for himself.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why should everyone get a chance to explain?"
Islam Sobhi recites Ta-Ha on Ra البيان. A few minutes is plenty.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who did Musa question next?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Musa ask the Samiri?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 95. Musa asked the one who started the trouble. A fair judge hears everyone. Then truth becomes clear.
Fact: Read 20:96: what excuse did the Samiri give?
Ages 5–8: Fair hearing. Play judge: listen to both sides of a pretend story.
Ages 9–12: Fairness. Write why a good judge listens to everyone.
Finish with: "I found his excuse was ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will listen to both sides before deciding."
Action: Listen to both sides before deciding.
