Opening the ayah…
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
Hal' 'unabbi'ukum' ʻalā man tanazzalu shshayāṭīnu
Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Allah asks whether He should tell them on whom the devils come down.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who do you think devils try to influence most?"
Only the start is needed. Sit quietly and hear Saud Ash-Shuraim from the The Noble Quran channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question is asked?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why ask this question?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 221. The key word tanazzalu means they descend. The disbelievers claimed devils came to the Prophet. Allah answers by describing who devils really visit. The answer shows how different the Prophet was.
Fact: Which surah do Muslims recite to seek refuge from whispers?
Ages 5–8: Refuge. Recite Surah An-Nas together.
Ages 9–12: Clear answer. Write how this question answers the false claim.
Finish with: "I found it is Surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will recite An-Nas before sleeping."
Action: Recite An-Nas before sleeping.
