3:99Ali Imran

Juz 4 · Page 62

قُلْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًۭا وَأَنتُمْ شُهَدَآءُ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

How to read it

Qul' yā'ah'la l-kitābi lima taṣuddūna ʻan sabīli -llahi man' 'āmana tab'ghūnahā ʻiwajan wa'antum' shuhadā'u . wamā -llahu bighāfilin ʻammā taʻ'malūna

Say: "O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah's Covenant)? but Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do."

Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you feel when someone blocks your way?"
Islamic Channel posted a short recitation of ayat 91–100 of Ali 'Imran. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did some try to do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is blocking others from good so wrong?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 99. Some tried to make Islam look crooked to stop people following it. We should open paths to good, never block them.
Fact: Removing an obstacle from the path is a charity (Bukhari).
Ages 5–8: Clear the path. Move an obstacle out of someone's way.
Ages 9–12: Open paths. Write how you can help others to good.
Finish with: "Removing harm from the path is ___."
