Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What do people say about someone they can rely on?"

USRAH ILMU STUDIO shares ayat 137 to 159.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did Salih describe himself?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Thamud know Salih was honest?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 143. The key word amin means trustworthy. Thamud once had great hopes for Salih. They knew his honesty. Yet when he called them to Allah, they turned away. Good character alone does not open closed hearts.

Fact: Which ayah of Surah Hud has Thamud say they once had great hopes in Salih?

Ages 5–8: Reliable. Draw something you can always rely on.

Ages 9–12: Trust and truth. Write why some ignore even trusted people.

Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Hud."

Talk together:

• Why did they once trust him?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why did they turn away?
• Who relies on you?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be someone others can rely on."

• Be reliable.
• Draw something reliable.
• Share trust and truth.
• Next time: the next ayah (26:144) is his call to be mindful and obey. Explore it together!

Action: Be someone others can rely on.
