Fact: Which surah of the Quran mentions the dua of Pharaoh's wife for a house in Paradise?

Ages 5–8: Kind words. Practise saying one gentle sentence that could protect someone.

Ages 9–12: Speaking up. Write about a time someone spoke up for you.

Talk together:

• Why was Pharaoh's wife brave?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When could you speak up kindly?
• How can kindness protect someone?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?
