4-I guide
Lut, living among them as a brother, asked if they would not fear Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you speak to people doing wrong?"
Play only a little. Sit quietly and hear Muhammad Al-Luhaidan from the Door to Deen channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Lut ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why call Lut their brother?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 161. The key word akhuhum means their brother. Lut lived among them and cared for them. He began with the same gentle call as the others. Firmness and care can go together.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-Anbiya says Allah gave Lut wisdom and knowledge?
Ages 5–8: Gentle words. Practise a gentle way to say 'please stop'.
Ages 9–12: Care and firmness. Write how to be firm and caring at once.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Anbiya."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will use gentle words when correcting someone."
Action: Use gentle words when correcting someone.
