Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do people make agreements?"

Haramain Translations has Sheikh Sudais with English; play a few minutes.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many years were agreed?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did the father promise not to be harsh?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qasas is surah 28. Find ayah 27. The key words la ashuqqa 'alayk mean I will not make it hard for you. The father made a fair, clear deal. Musa would work for some years, and the father promised kindness. Good agreements are clear and fair for both sides.

Fact: How many days are there in eight years?

Ages 5–8: Fair deal. Make a simple deal with a sibling, like taking turns, and keep it.

Ages 9–12: Clear agreements. Write what makes an agreement fair for both sides.

Finish with: "I found that eight years have about ___ days."

Talk together:

• Why was this agreement fair?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why should agreements be clear?
• How can we be easy on others?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make one fair deal and keep it."

• Keep a fair deal.
• Make a fair deal.
• Share clear agreements.
• Next time: the next ayah (28:28) is Musa's acceptance with Allah as witness. Explore it together!

Action: Make one fair deal and keep it.
