Opening the ayah…
وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ
Wa 'innaka latulaqqāl-qur''āna min lladun' ḥakīmin ʻalīmin
As to thee, the Qur'an is bestowed upon thee from the presence of one who is wise and all-knowing.

4-I guide
The Prophet receives the Quran directly from One who is perfectly wise and knows everything.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do we trust advice from someone very wise?"
Samera Abdullah shared an eight-minute part of Mishary's An-Naml.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names of Allah are in this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does it matter who the Quran comes from?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naml is surah 27. Find ayah 6. The key word tulaqqa means you are given, you receive. The Quran comes from al-Hakim, the Wise, and al-'Alim, the All-Knowing. Its source makes it trustworthy. After this, the stories begin.
Fact: About how many times does the name al-Hakim appear in the Quran?
Ages 5–8: Trusted source. Talk about who you trust for different questions.
Ages 9–12: Two names. Write what al-Hakim and al-'Alim mean in your own words.
Finish with: "I found that al-Hakim appears about ___ times."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn the meaning of al-Hakim and al-'Alim."
Action: Learn the meaning of al-Hakim and al-'Alim.
