Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do you know someone is listening?"

Nasser Al-Qatami's emotional recitation of ayat 69 to 104 is on Al-Quran Al-Karim.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Ibrahim ask about the idols?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who really hears our calls?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 72. The key word yasma'unakum means they hear you. A stone statue cannot hear anything. Allah hears every whisper, even unspoken thoughts. Calling on the One who hears is the one call that makes sense.

Fact: Which ayah of Al-A'raf asks whether idols have ears to hear or feet to walk?

Ages 5–8: Who hears? Whisper to a toy and to a person and see who answers.

Ages 9–12: As-Sami'. Write what it means that Allah is the All-Hearing.

Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-A'raf."

Talk together:

• Can statues hear?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who hears every call?
• How does it feel to be heard?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will whisper a dua and trust Allah hears."

• Whisper a dua.
• Test who hears.
• Share as-Sami'.
• Next time: the next ayah (26:73) asks if they bring benefit or harm. Explore it together!

Action: Whisper a dua and trust Allah hears.
