Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Does Allah need anything or anyone?"

Watch the Osratouna TV video Learn Surah Al-Ikhlas.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does the Quran say about their claim?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is it impossible for Allah to have children?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 152. The key word kadhibun means liars. Allah clearly says the claim is false. Allah needs nothing: no helper, no family, no rest. Surah Al-Ikhlas says He was not born and does not give birth, and nothing is like Him. This belief is at the heart of tawhid.

Fact: Which ayah in Surah Maryam says it does not befit the Most Merciful to take a son?

Ages 5–8: Needs list. List what people need, like food and sleep, and talk about how Allah needs none of them.

Ages 9–12: Unique Allah. Write three ways Allah is completely unlike His creation.

Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Maryam ___."

Talk together:

• Why is the claim false?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does it mean that Allah needs nothing?
• How does Al-Ikhlas describe Allah?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will teach Surah Al-Ikhlas or its meaning to someone younger."

• Teach Al-Ikhlas to someone.
• Make a needs list.
• Share unique Allah.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:153) asks a sharp question. Explore it together!

Action: Teach Surah Al-Ikhlas or its meaning to someone younger.
