4-I guide
The Prophet is told to share Ibrahim's story with the people.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you already know about Prophet Ibrahim?"
OnePath Network's episode Oh My Dear Father looks at Ibrahim and his father.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whose story comes next?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why tell Ibrahim's story to the people of Makkah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 69. The key word naba' means important news. The people of Makkah claimed to follow Ibrahim, yet they worshipped idols. Ibrahim's own story would show them how far they had drifted.
Fact: About how many times is Ibrahim named in the Quran?
Ages 5–8: Ibrahim facts. Draw three things you know about Ibrahim.
Ages 9–12: Claim and truth. Write how the people of Makkah differed from Ibrahim.
Finish with: "I found Ibrahim is named about ___ times."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn one new fact about Ibrahim."
Action: Learn one new fact about Ibrahim.
