4-I guide
The Prophet is taught to say: my Lord, if You show me what they have been warned of,
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Do you ever pray about something you're worried about?"
MrPeace0123 has a short clip of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 93–118. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is this du'a addressed to?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is this du'a in two parts?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 93. Ayat 93 and 94 make one du'a. The Prophet, peace be upon him, asks Allah: if I live to see the warning come true, keep me safe from it.
Fact: Find where the du'a finishes. Read ayah 94.
Ages 5–8: Two-part card. Make a folded card with ayah 93 outside and 94 inside.
Ages 9–12: Du'a notebook. Add this du'a to your notebook in your own words.
Finish with: "I found it finishes in ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for protection ___ (when)."
Action: Make the du'a.
