4-I guide
The devils were not the ones who brought the Quran down.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do we know where good words come from?"
Only for Allah shares Raad Al-Kurdi reciting ayat 208 to 227 with subtitles.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who did not bring the Quran?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why would anyone think devils brought it?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 210. The key words ma tanazzalat bihi ash-shayatin mean the devils did not bring it down. Some claimed the Prophet got his words from jinn. The Quran answers clearly: devils could never bring guidance like this.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-Hijr says Allah Himself protects the Quran?
Ages 5–8: Good source. Draw the Quran with light coming from above.
Ages 9–12: Clear answer. Write why devils could not bring the Quran.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Hijr."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will read the Quran with trust in its source."
Action: Read the Quran with trust in its source.
