4-I guide
Lut assured his people that his message was entrusted to him faithfully.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does trust matter more in hard times?"
Only the start is needed. Open the Rio Qur'an video of Muhammad Al-Luhaidan and listen for a while.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did Lut describe himself?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Lut need to be trusted?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 162. The key word amin means trustworthy. Lut had moved to that land and lived honestly among them. He believed in Ibrahim and followed his way. His honesty backed his warning.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-'Ankabut says Lut believed in Ibrahim?
Ages 5–8: Lut's journey. Draw Lut travelling with Ibrahim to a new land.
Ages 9–12: Following Ibrahim. Write what Lut learned from Ibrahim.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-'Ankabut."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will follow a good example I admire."
Action: Follow a good example you admire.
