Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do they ask not to happen?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why mention that Allah never breaks a promise?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 194. They end their du'a with trust: Allah never breaks His promise. This gives believers confidence and hope.
Fact: These du'as are recited by many when they wake for night prayer.
Ages 5–8: Trust promise. Talk about why Allah's promises are sure.
