4-I guide
There they will argue with one another.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do people blame each other when things go wrong?"
A short part is enough. Play Ahmed Al-Ajmi's recitation from Mhmad Ali and follow along.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will they do there?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will they argue?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 96. The key word yakhtasimun means they argue. Friends in wrongdoing turn on each other in the end. Blame does not help anyone. Good friendships are built on truth, not on doing wrong together.
Fact: Which ayat of Saba describe followers and leaders blaming each other?
Ages 5–8: Blame or fix. Act out blaming and then fixing a spilled drink.
Ages 9–12: True friends. Write what makes a friendship last.
Finish with: "I found they are ayat ___ of Saba."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will fix a problem instead of blaming someone."
Action: Fix a problem instead of blaming someone.
