4-I guide
Salih, their brother from Thamud, asked whether they had no fear of Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does a good brother do when his family is in danger?"
Islam With Binte Hassan recites ayat 141 to 159.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Salih ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How was Salih like the other prophets?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 142. The key word Salih also means righteous. He was one of Thamud and spoke as their brother. His first words matched Nuh's and Hud's: be mindful of Allah.
Fact: Which surah is named after the rocky land of Thamud?
Ages 5–8: Rock valley. Draw a valley with homes cut into the cliffs.
Ages 9–12: Salih's start. Write how Salih's first words matched the prophets before him.
Finish with: "I found it is Surah ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will try to live up to a good meaning."
Action: Try to live up to a good meaning.
