Watch the Islamic Lessons Made Easy video Al-Hakim Explained.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah ask about their judgement?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make wise judgements?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 154. The key word tahkumun means you judge. Allah challenges people to look at how they reach conclusions. Good judgement needs knowledge, fairness and thought. Allah, Al-Hakim, the All-Wise, places everything where it belongs.

Fact: What does the name Al-Hakim mean?

Ages 5–8: Wise choice. Choose between two snacks by thinking about which is healthier.

Ages 9–12: Decision steps. Write four steps for making a wise decision.

Finish with: "I found that Al-Hakim means ___."

Talk together:

• What was wrong with their judgement?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What makes a decision wise?
• How can we ask Allah for wisdom?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?
