And verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore fear Me (and no other).

4-I guide
All the messengers and their followers are one community, and Allah is their one Lord, so be mindful of Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a team feel like one?"
Only a few minutes are needed: As-Sudais and Ash-Shuraim recites Al-Mu'minun on QuraaanChannel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many communities does Allah say there are?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can believers stay united?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 52. The key word ummah means community. All the prophets brought one faith: worship Allah alone. Believers everywhere are one family.
Fact: How many Muslims are there in the world? Find a recent estimate.
Ages 5–8: Woven together. Weave paper strips into a mat: one strip is weak, many are strong.
Ages 9–12: One family. Write how Muslims around the world are connected.
Finish with: "I found about ___ Muslims."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for Muslims around the world."
Action: Make du'a for Muslims around the world.
