Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Is it wise to laugh at a warning?"

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi reflects on part of Surah Ash-Shu'ara at EPIC Masjid. Play the first few minutes.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did they do with the message?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will they come to know?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 6. The key word yastahzi'un means they mock. People who mock a warning do not stop it from being true. One calm line: the truth will become clear to everyone in the end. Listening early is wiser.

Fact: Which ayah of Al-An'am says messengers before the Prophet were mocked too?

Ages 5–8: Listen first. Play a game where listening to a warning helps you win.

Ages 9–12: Mocking or listening. Write why mocking a warning is risky.

Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-An'am."

Talk together:

• Why do people mock warnings?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What happens when truth becomes clear?
• How can we listen early?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will listen respectfully to every warning I am given."

• Respect warnings.
• Play listen first.
• Share mocking or listening.
• Next time: the next ayah (26:7) asks them to look at the noble plants of the earth. Explore it together!

Action: Listen respectfully to every warning you are given.
