Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why might someone need patience after telling others to do good?"

Watch the Mufti Menk video Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which four pieces of advice are given?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I encourage good kindly?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Luqman is surah 31. Find ayah 17. The key words 'azm al-umur mean matters of firm resolve. Luqman's advice moves from inside to outside: first pray, then encourage good and discourage wrong in others, then be patient, because helping others can bring difficulties. Good advice is given gently and wisely.

Fact: Which surah's last ayah links truth and patience as things believers encourage in each other?

Ages 5–8: Four fingers. Hold up four fingers and name one piece of Luqman's advice for each.

Ages 9–12: Kind reminder. Role-play reminding a friend to do something good in a kind way.

Finish with: "I found that it is surah ___."

Talk together:

• Why does prayer come first?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can you remind others without being bossy?
• Why does helping others need patience?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will kindly remind a friend or sibling to do something good."

• Remind kindly.
• Count four fingers.
• Share a kind reminder.
• Next time: the next ayah (31:18) warns against pride. Explore it together!

Action: Kindly remind a friend or sibling to do something good.
