Ages 5–8: Kind reply. Practise answering an insult with a kind sentence.

Ages 9–12: Easier than change. Write why people insult instead of changing.

• Why insult Salih?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is change hard?
• How do you respond to insults?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?
