Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who is responsible when someone ignores every warning?"

Watch the Mufti Menk video The Story of Qarun.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who wronged these people?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does the Quran say they wronged themselves?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-'Ankabut is surah 29. Find ayah 40. The key words anfusahum yazlimun mean they wronged themselves. This ayah sums up the earlier stories in one calm line: different nations faced different consequences. The key lesson is that Allah is never unjust. People bring harm on themselves when they reject guidance.

Fact: Which ayah in Surah An-Nahl says Allah did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves?

Ages 5–8: Choices and results. Talk about a choice and its result, like not wearing a coat in the rain.

Ages 9–12: Own choices. Write why Allah's justice means people are responsible for their choices.

Finish with: "I found it in Surah An-Nahl, ayah ___."

Talk together:

• What does it mean that they wronged themselves?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How are choices and results connected?
• What good choice can you make today?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will think about the result before I make a choice."

• Think before choosing.
• Talk about choices and results.
• Share own choices.
• Next time: the next ayah (29:41) compares false protectors to a spider's web. Explore it together!

Action: Think about the result before you make a choice.
