Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What is the difference between a fact and something made up?"

Watch the My Ummah Kids TV video Surah Al-Ikhlas for Kids.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where did their claim come from?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people make up things about Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 151. The key word ifk means a made-up falsehood. The claim that Allah has children did not come from any revelation; people invented it. Speaking about Allah without knowledge is very serious. We learn about Allah from what He tells us in the Quran.

Fact: What name do we give to the study of what Allah tells us about Himself and our beliefs?

Ages 5–8: Fact or fib. Play a game saying true facts and silly made-up ones, and sort them.

Ages 9–12: Source check. Write how you can check whether something said about Islam is true.

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

Talk together:

• Why is inventing things about Allah wrong?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Where do we learn about Allah?
• How can we check what we hear?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will check before repeating something I hear about Islam."

• Check before repeating.
• Play fact or fib.
• Share source check.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:152) finishes the claim. Explore it together!

Action: Check before repeating something you hear about Islam.
