4-I guide
Allah gave Musa the Book and made his brother Harun his helper.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who helps you with big jobs?"
Try a few minutes of Maher Al-Muaiqly, posted by I Love Allah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who helped Musa?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah give Musa a helper?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Furqan is surah 25. Find ayah 35. The key word wazira means helper or minister. Musa asked Allah for his brother's help, and Allah gave it. Big missions are easier with good helpers.
Fact: Which ayah of Ta-Ha has Musa asking for a helper from his family?
Ages 5–8: Helper game. Carry a heavy box alone, then with a helper.
Ages 9–12: Teamwork. Write what Harun added to Musa's mission.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Ta-Ha."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be a helper to someone in my family."
Action: Be a helper to someone in your family.
