Opening the ayah…
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍۢ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Wa naṣar'nāhu mina l-qaw'mi -lladhīna kadhdhabū bi'āyātinā . 'innahum' kānū qaw'ma saw''in fa'agh'raq'nāhum' 'aj'maʻīna
We helped him against people who rejected Our Signs: truly they were a people given to Evil: so We drowned them (in the Flood) all together.

4-I guide
Allah helped Nuh against the people who denied His signs, and those people were drowned.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who helps you when others are against you?"
Hear a short part of Abdur-Rahman As-Sudais's recitation on cpkami.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who helped Nuh?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah help Nuh?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 77. Nuh stayed patient for many years. Allah helped him. One calm line: the deniers were drowned. Allah supports those who stay true.
Fact: How many years did Nuh call his people? (Al-'Ankabut 29:14.).
Ages 5–8: Help line. Draw Nuh's boat safe on the waves.
Ages 9–12: Allah's help. Write how Allah helps the patient.
Finish with: "I found ___ years."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be patient with ___."
Action: Be patient.
