Opening the ayah…
وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَيَخْشَ ٱللَّهَ وَيَتَّقْهِ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَآئِزُونَ
Wa man yuṭiʻi -llaha warassūlahu wayakh'sha -llaha wayattaq'hi fa'ūlā'ika humu l-fā'izūna
It is such as obey Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah and do right, that will win (in the end),
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, stands in awe of Allah and stays mindful of Him, those are the true winners.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does it take to reach the top of a mountain?"
Haramain Translations has As-Sudais's An-Nur with English. Play a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What three things do the winners do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What kind of winning does Allah mean?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nur is surah 24. Find ayah 52. This ayah lists three qualities: obeying, being in awe of Allah, and being mindful of Him (taqwa). People who do these are the winners, not just in games but forever.
Fact: What does the word taqwa mean?
Ask your teacher.
Ages 5–8: Summit climb. Build a pillow mountain and climb it; each step is a good quality.
Ages 9–12: Three steps. Write one way to practise each quality this week.
Finish with: "I found taqwa means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will practise ___ (which quality) each day."
Action: Practise your quality.
Keep pillow mountains low and soft.
