4-I guide
then, my Lord, don't place me among the wrongdoing people.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does the company you keep matter?"
Play the short clip from Allah Is The Praiseworthy.: Islam Sobhi reciting ayat 93–118.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does the du'a ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I stay away from wrongdoing?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 94. This finishes the du'a: don't put me with the wrongdoers. It teaches us to ask Allah to keep us with good people.
Fact: Find a du'a in Al-A'raf asking not to be with the wrongdoers (7:47).
Ages 5–8: Good company. Draw yourself with friends who help you be good.
Ages 9–12: Company check. Write how friends change our habits.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be good company to ___."
Action: Be good company.
