Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How would you like to be remembered?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Ibrahim want later people to say?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Did Allah answer this dua?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 84. The key words lisana sidqin mean a tongue of truth, a good reputation. Thousands of years later, people of many faiths honour Ibrahim. Allah answered his dua. A good name comes from good deeds.
Fact: Which ayat of As-Saffat send peace on Ibrahim among later generations?
Ages 5–8: Footprints. Draw footprints that others will follow after you.
Ages 9–12: Lasting influence. Write how good deeds keep helping people after we are gone.
Finish with: "I found they are ayat ___ of As-Saffat."
Talk together:

Action: Teach someone younger a good habit.
