Opening the ayah…
وَنُوحًا إِذْ نَادَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Wa nūḥan 'idh' nādā min qab'lu fa-s'tajab'nā lahu fanajjay'nāhu wa'ah'lahu mina l-kar'bi l-ʻaẓīmi
(Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress.

4-I guide
Long before, Nuh called on Allah, who answered him and saved him and his family from great distress.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Has Allah ever answered your du'a?"
Only a few minutes are needed: Abdur-Rahman As-Sudais recites Al-Anbiya on Imran Kayani.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah do when Nuh called?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah answer du'a?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 76. Nuh called out in distress, and Allah answered. This surah shows prophet after prophet calling and Allah answering.
Fact: Find Nuh's du'a in Surah Al-Qamar 54:10.
Ages 5–8: Du'a answered. Draw a du'a you made and how it was answered.
Ages 9–12: Calls answered. List prophets in this surah whose du'a was answered.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for something important."
Action: Make du'a for something important.
