4-I guide
This community of all the prophets is one, and Allah is your Lord, so worship Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a big family feel like one?"
Listen together to Maher Al-Muaiqly reciting part of Al-Anbiya, shared by Sheikh Dr Mahir Al Muaiqly Qirats.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many communities are there?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How are all the prophets one family?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 92. All the prophets in this surah belong to one ummah with one Lord and one message. Muslims today are part of that family.
Fact: How many prophets are named in the Quran in total?
Ask your teacher.
Ages 5–8: Weave together. Weave paper strips into one mat.
Ages 9–12: One family. Write how believers around the world are connected.

Talk together:
