Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever seen a baby refuse food?"

Hear Ustadha Maryam Amir recite ayat 7 to 13 at the Muslim Community Center East Bay.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the sister suggest?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Allah arrange every step so well?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qasas is surah 28. Find ayah 12. The key word harramna means We made unlawful, or prevented. The baby would not feed from anyone else. Then his sister stepped forward with a clever idea. Allah arranged every step so Musa would return home.

Fact: How many hours a day do newborn babies usually sleep?

Ages 5–8: Step by step. Draw the steps that brought baby Musa back home.

Ages 9–12: Hidden help. Write how Allah's help was hidden in each event.

Finish with: "I found that newborns sleep about ___ hours a day."

Talk together:

• Why did Allah make Musa refuse the nurses?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How did the sister show wisdom?
• Where have you seen Allah's hidden help?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice one way Allah helped me without my asking."

• Notice hidden help.
• Draw step by step.
• Share hidden help.
• Next time: the next ayah (28:13) tells how Musa returned to his mother. Explore it together!

Action: Notice one way Allah helped you without your asking.
