Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qasas is surah 28. Find ayah 86. The key words illa rahmatan mean only as mercy. The Prophet did not plan to become a prophet. The Quran came as a gift from Allah. We also received this gift, so we should value it and stand by it.

Fact: Which ayah of Surah Al-'Ankabut says the Prophet did not read or write any book before the Quran?

Ages 5–8: Gift box. Decorate a box and put a Quran verse card inside as a gift.

Ages 9–12: Unexpected gift. Write how the Quran has been a gift in your life.

Talk together:

• Why is the Quran a mercy?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we value this gift?
• How do we stand by the truth?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?
