Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Does a mistake become right if it is very old?"

Tawfeeq As-Sayegh recites ayat 69 to 84 in a short clip.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who else had worshipped idols?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why include the forefathers?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 76. The key word al-aqdamun means the most ancient. Even very old practices can be wrong. Age does not make something true. Ibrahim respected his elders but did not follow them in error.

Fact: According to Al-Anbiya ayah 58, which idol did Ibrahim leave unbroken?

Ages 5–8: Old and true. Find something old at home that is still good and useful.

Ages 9–12: Respect and truth. Write how to respect elders without following mistakes.

Finish with: "I found he left the ___ one."

Talk together:

• Does age make something true?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we respect elders?
• What old good habit do you keep?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn a good habit from an elder."

• Learn from an elder.
• Find old and true.
• Share respect and truth.
• Next time: the next ayah (26:77) is Ibrahim declaring them enemies, except the Lord of the worlds. Explore it together!

Action: Learn a good habit from an elder.
