Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How would it feel to be chased?"

Islamic Inspiration tells what happened after crossing the Red Sea, in its Kalimullah series.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When did the army set off?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did the believers feel being chased?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 60. The key word mushriqin means at sunrise. The believers had travelled all night. At dawn, the army caught up. Hard moments often come just before Allah's help.

Fact: About how far could people walk in a day long ago?

Ages 5–8: Sunrise run. Draw a dawn sky with travellers on the road.

Ages 9–12: Before help. Write about a hard moment that came just before relief.

Finish with: "I found people could walk about ___ kilometres a day."

Talk together:

• How did the believers feel?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does hardship come before help?
• What helps you keep going?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep going on a hard task until it is done."

• Finish a hard task.
• Draw a sunrise run.
• Share before help.
• Next time: the next ayah (26:61) is the moment the two groups saw each other. Explore it together!

Action: Keep going on a hard task until it is done.
