Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How does being mindful of Allah change daily life?"

Ustadha Taimiyyah Zubair explains ayat 141 to 159; play the first few minutes.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Salih call them to?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How would taqwa change Thamud?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 144. The key words fattaqu Allah mean be mindful of Allah. Thamud were proud of their skills. Taqwa would remind them their skill came from Allah. Mindful people use gifts gratefully.

Fact: Which ayah of Surah Hud has Salih remind them that Allah produced them from the earth?

Ages 5–8: Gift from Allah. Draw a skill you have with a label 'from Allah'.

Ages 9–12: Grateful skill. Write how taqwa helps us use talents well.

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

Talk together:

• How does taqwa help with talents?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Where do skills come from?
• How do you use your skills?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will use one of my skills to help others."

• Use a skill to help.
• Draw a gift from Allah.
• Share grateful skill.
• Next time: the next ayah (26:145) is Salih asking no reward. Explore it together!

Action: Use one of your skills to help others.
