4-I guide
Allah brought them the truth, but they are the ones lying.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What's the difference between truth and a lie?"
Play a few minutes of Ali Jaber on islamicfromjamal.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah bring them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people choose lies?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 90. Allah's truth came clearly. Choosing falsehood after the truth comes is a choice people make.
Fact: Which name of Allah means the Truth? (Al-Haqq.).
Ages 5–8: True or false game. Say statements; others say true or false.
Ages 9–12: Truth sign. Write how truth makes life simpler.
Finish with: "I found the Truth is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell the truth even when it's hard."
Action: Tell the truth even when it's hard.
