وَيُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Wa yubayyinu -llahu lakumu l-'āyāti . wa-llahu ʻalīmun ḥakīmun
And Allah makes the Signs plain to you: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.

4-I guide
Allah explains His signs clearly to us, and He knows everything and is wise.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is it easier to read with clear glasses or smudged ones?"
SimpleQuran shows Al-Minshawi's An-Nur with English. Watch a short part.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names of Allah end this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What has Allah made clear to me today?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nur is surah 24. Find ayah 18. Allah does not leave us guessing. He explains, step by step, how to behave when a rumour comes. He knows everything, and His teaching is wise.
Fact: How does a lens in glasses help our eyes see clearly?
Look it up in a science book.
Ages 5–8: Clear water. Compare a glass of muddy water and clear water. Which can you see through?
Ages 9–12: Steps list. List the steps An-Nur gives so far for dealing with rumours.
Finish with: "I found a lens works by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will explain one clear lesson to ___ (who)."
Action: Share your clear lesson.
