Opening the ayah…
قُلْ صَدَقَ ٱللَّهُ ۗ فَٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفًۭا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
Qul' ṣadaqa -llahu . fa-ttabiʻū millata 'ib'rāhīma ḥanīfan wamā kāna mina l-mush'rikīna
Say: "Allah speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans."
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Say: Allah has spoken the truth, so follow the way of Ibrahim, the upright, who never set up partners with Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is Ibrahim's way a good way to follow?"
A.A.H. (Abu Al Humaira) posted a short recitation of ayat 92–100 of Ali 'Imran. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whose way should we follow?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What was special about Ibrahim's way?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 95. Ibrahim's way, millat Ibrahim, is pure worship of Allah alone. Islam continues his way.
Fact: Millat Ibrahim means the way of Ibrahim.
Ages 5–8: Ibrahim's path. Draw Ibrahim's journey from Iraq to Makkah.
Ages 9–12: Same way. Write how Islam continues Ibrahim's way.
Finish with: "Millat Ibrahim means the ___ of Ibrahim."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will read about Ibrahim building the Ka'bah."
Action: Read about Ibrahim building the Ka'bah.
