Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who does Allah protect?"

Fact: Which prophet and his followers were saved in an ark?
Ages 5–8: Safe circle. Draw a circle of safety around believers.
Ages 9–12: Saved in every story. List believers saved in different Quran stories.
Finish with: "I found it was Prophet ___."
Talk together:

Action: Be mindful of Allah in one choice each day.
