Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does it take to stand alone for what is right?"

Mufti Menk's Stories of the Prophets covers Lut; play only the first few minutes.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who denied the messengers next?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Lut feel standing alone?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 160. The key word kadhdhabat means denied. Lut lived among people who did shameful things. He stood for the right almost alone. Courage means doing right even when few join you.

Fact: Which surah tells Lut's story with his guests in ayat 61 to 77?

Ages 5–8: Standing tall. Draw one tree standing tall in a storm.

Ages 9–12: Courage alone. Write about standing for right when few agree.

Finish with: "I found it is Surah ___."

Talk together:

• Why was Lut brave?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can you stand for right?
• Who supports you?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do the right thing even if I am alone."

• Do right alone.
• Draw standing tall.
• Share courage alone.
• Next time: the next ayah (26:161) is Lut calling them to be mindful. Explore it together!

Action: Do the right thing even if you are alone.
