4-I guide
Lut questioned his people about their shameful ways, which went against what Allah had made for them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do prophets speak up about wrong behaviour?"
Keep this one short. Try a few minutes of the reciter, posted by The Meaning Of Islam.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Lut question?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Lut stay brave?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 165. The key words min al-'alamin mean among all people. Lut spoke up about shameful acts that his people did openly. We do not need the details; the lesson is that Lut had the courage to say what was right.
Fact: What does the Arabic word fitrah mean?
Ages 5–8: Speak up. Practise saying 'That's not right' calmly.
Ages 9–12: Courage to speak. Write why speaking up is sometimes needed.
Finish with: "I found fitrah means ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will speak up calmly about something wrong."
Action: Speak up calmly about something wrong.
