Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does it mean to really win?"

Grown-ups, preview a few minutes of this talk by The Guided Path from The Guided Path, then share the part that suits your children.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who does Allah say have succeeded?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What kind of success lasts forever?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 1. The surah is named Al-Mu'minun, the Believers. Its first word, qad aflaha, means they have truly succeeded. The next ayat list the habits of these successful people, one by one, like a recipe.

Fact: How many qualities of the believers are listed in ayat 2 to 9? Count them in the translation.

Ages 5–8: Success stars. Draw a star and write inside it one thing that makes someone a good believer.

Ages 9–12: Two kinds of winning. Make two columns: winning in a game and winning with Allah. What goes in each?

Finish with: "I counted ___ qualities."

Talk together:

• What does success mean to you?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does Allah begin with good news?
• Which habit of the believers would you like to learn first?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn one quality of the believers with ___ (who)."

• Show your success star to the family.
• Explain the two kinds of winning to a friend.
• Next time: the next ayah (23:2) names the first quality: humble prayer. Explore it together!

Action: Learn your quality.
