Opening the guide…
4-I guide
Nuh said he would never push away those who believed.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How would it feel to be turned away?"
A short part is enough. Fares Abbad reads Surah Ash-Shu'ara here, uploaded by The Holy Quran.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What would Nuh never do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Nuh keep his poor followers?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 114. The key word bi-taridi means one who drives away. The proud wanted the poor sent away. Nuh refused. Loyal friends stay with those who stand with the truth. Every believer matters.
Fact: Which surah begins with the story of a blind man who came to the Prophet seeking to learn?
Ages 5–8: Open door. Draw an open door with 'everyone who believes is welcome'.
Ages 9–12: Keeping friends. Write how Nuh stayed loyal to his poorest followers.
Finish with: "I found it is Surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will welcome someone new into my group."
Action: Welcome someone new into your group.
