Opening the ayah…
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًۭا وَنَصِيرًۭا
Wa kadhālika jaʻalnā likulli nabiyyin ʻaduwan mmina l-muj'rimīna . wakafā birabbika hādiyan wanaṣīran
Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Every prophet faced opponents among the wrongdoers, yet Allah is enough to guide and to help.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do good people sometimes face opposition?"
Sit quietly and hear Maher Al-Muaiqly from the SimpleQuran channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is enough as guide and helper?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah help those who are opposed?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Furqan is surah 25. Find ayah 31. The key words hadiyan wa nasira mean a guide and a helper. Opposition is part of every prophet's story. Allah comforts the Prophet: you are not alone.
Fact: Which surah tells of Pharaoh opposing Musa in great detail and is named after stories?
Ages 5–8: Not alone. Draw a small boat in big waves with the words 'Allah is enough'.
Ages 9–12: Comfort. Write how this ayah comforted the Prophet.
Finish with: "I found it is Surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say 'hasbiyallah' when something is hard."
Action: Say 'hasbiyallah' when something is hard.
