Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What happens to a team that keeps arguing among itself?"

Watch the Stars of Deen story Unity vs Division.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does each group feel about itself?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can Muslims stay united?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rum is surah 30. Find ayah 32. The key word shiya'an means groups or factions. When people split their religion and each group thinks only it is right, they become proud and divided. Unity grows from humility, kindness and focusing on what joins us: one Allah, one Quran, one Prophet.

Fact: Which ayah in Surah Al 'Imran tells believers to hold firmly to the rope of Allah together and not be divided?

Ages 5–8: Bundle of sticks. Try breaking one stick, then a bundle tied together.

Ages 9–12: What unites us. List ten things all Muslims share.

Finish with: "I found that it is ayah ___ of Al 'Imran."

Talk together:

• Why does pride lead to division?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What unites all Muslims?
• How can you be a peacemaker?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make peace between two people who disagree, or stay kind in a disagreement."

• Try the bundle of sticks.
• Share what unites us.
• Next time: the next ayah (30:33) shows how people pray in hard times. Explore it together!

Action: Be a peacemaker.
