Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Is it hard to tell people they are doing something wrong?"

Start Al-Husary's reading on the Ar-Rahmaan Quran Channel and stop after a short while.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Lut warn his people about?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Lut find the courage to speak?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-'Ankabut is surah 29. Find ayah 28. Lut was sent to a people who had made shameful acts normal. He bravely told them the truth, even though he was alone. Speaking up for what is right takes courage, especially when many people disagree.

Fact: In which surah is the story of Lut told along with the story of Ibrahim's guests?

Ages 5–8: Brave voice. Practise saying "That is not right" calmly and bravely.

Ages 9–12: Standing alone. Write about why it is hard to stand up for what is right when everyone else disagrees.

Finish with: "I found that one surah is ___."

Talk together:

• Why did Lut speak up?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When is it hard to speak up?
• Who can help you be brave?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will speak up kindly when I see something wrong."

• Speak up kindly.
• Share standing alone.
• Next time: the next ayah (29:29) describes more of their wrongdoing. Explore it together!

Action: Practise a brave voice.
