4-I guide
We supported them, and so they were the ones who prevailed.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who helps the weak against the strong?"
Watch the Stories of the Prophets video Prophet Musa. Play the first few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah do for Musa and Harun?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How could weak people overcome Pharaoh?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 116. The key word nasarnahum means We helped them. Pharaoh had armies, wealth and power; the believers had very little. Yet Allah's help made them overcome. The true winner is the one Allah supports, not the one with the biggest army.
Fact: What happened to Pharaoh when he followed them into the sea?
Ages 5–8: Small but strong. Talk about a small animal, like an ant, that does amazing things with Allah's help.
Ages 9–12: Help from Allah. Write about a time you felt Allah helped you overcome something hard.
Finish with: "I found that Pharaoh was ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for help before something hard."
Action: Ask Allah for help before something hard.
