Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can money change what is true?"

Al-Husary's measured voice, with Arabic and English text, is on the Ar-Rahmaan channel; play the opening minutes only.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Sulayman say about the gift?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why wasn't Sulayman tempted?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naml is surah 27. Find ayah 36. The key word khayr means better. Sulayman was not after money. Allah had given him far more. His aim was to call them to Allah. A sincere message cannot be bought.

Fact: Which surah says, in ayah 96 of An-Nahl, that what you have runs out but what is with Allah lasts?

Ages 5–8: Can't be bought. List things money cannot buy.

Ages 9–12: True wealth. Write what Sulayman valued more than gold.

Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___."

Talk together:

• Why did Sulayman refuse the gift?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can't money buy?
• What do you value most?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice three things money cannot buy."

• Notice what money can't buy.
• List can't-be-bought things.
• Share true wealth.
• Next time: the next ayah (27:37) is Sulayman's message to the envoys. Explore it together!

Action: Notice three things money cannot buy.
