Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What makes a test from Allah different from a school test?"

Watch the Deenee video Prophet Ibrahim's Sacrifice.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the son say to his father?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah give Ibrahim such a big test?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 102. The key word ru'ya means a dream; the dreams of prophets are a form of revelation from Allah. This was a unique test, given only to a great prophet. Ibrahim spoke to his son gently and asked his view, and the son answered with amazing trust. Allah did not want the boy harmed, as the next ayat show. Allah forbids harming children.

Fact: Which Muslim festival remembers this story every year?

Ages 5–8: Kind talking. Talk about how Ibrahim asked his son's opinion and how families can talk kindly.

Ages 9–12: Trust and patience. Write what the son's answer teaches about trusting Allah.

Finish with: "I found that the festival is ___."

Talk together:

• How did Ibrahim speak to his son?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What did the son's answer show?
• Why was this a test only for a prophet?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask a family member's opinion before deciding something together."

• Ask others' views kindly.
• Talk kindly as a family.
• Share trust and patience.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:103) shows them both submitting to Allah. Explore it together!

Action: Ask a family member's opinion before deciding something together.
