Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do you reply when someone calls you a liar?"

Try the long Arabic-and-English video from The Meaning Of Islam, just its opening part.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who knows best, according to Musa?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Musa stay so calm?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qasas is surah 28. Find ayah 37. The key words rabbi a'lam mean my Lord knows best. Musa did not shout or insult. He calmly left the matter to Allah. The final ending, al-'aqibah, belongs to those who do right.

Fact: Which surah's ayah 128 says the good end is for the mindful?

Ages 5–8: Calm reply. Practise answering a rude comment calmly.

Ages 9–12: Good endings. Write how Musa's ending was better than Pharaoh's.

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

Talk together:

• Why didn't Musa argue back angrily?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we stay calm when accused?
• Why do wrongdoers not truly succeed?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will reply calmly when someone is rude."

• Reply calmly.
• Practise a calm reply.
• Share good endings.
• Next time: the next ayah (28:38) is Pharaoh's proud claim and his tower. Explore it together!

Action: Reply calmly when someone is rude.
