Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What would you say if you felt alone in the dark?"

Nasheed Station has a short clip of Islam Sobhi reciting ayat 87–112. Play it all.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What three things did Yunus say?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is Yunus's du'a so powerful?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 87. Dhun-Nun means the man of the fish: Yunus, peace be upon him. In the darkness he said three things: tawhid, glorifying Allah and admitting his mistake. It's a du'a we can learn for hard times.

Fact: Find the ayah where Yunus was in the belly of the fish (As-Saffat 37:142).

Ages 5–8: Light in the dark. In a dark room, turn on a torch while saying 'Allah is with me'.

Ages 9–12: Three parts. Write the three parts of Yunus's du'a in your own words.

Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."

Talk together:

• When do you feel in the dark?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why admit mistakes in du'a?
• When will you use this du'a?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn the meaning of Yunus's du'a."

• Learn the du'a's meaning.
• Try the torch.
• Share your writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (21:88) tells how Allah saved him. Explore it together!

Action: Learn the meaning of Yunus's du'a.
