Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What counts as good proof?"

Watch the Tiny Sparks Stories video Al-Aziz, the Almighty Protector.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why should claims have proof?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 156. The key word sultan here means clear proof or authority. Allah asks the people: do you have any real evidence for your claim? They had none. Islam teaches us to look for evidence and not to follow rumours. Allah, Al-Aziz, is Mighty, and His truth needs no false support.

Fact: What is the Arabic word for evidence or clear proof, often used in the Quran?

Ages 5–8: Proof hunt. Make a claim like "it rained last night" and look for proof outside.

Ages 9–12: Rumour test. Write three questions to test whether something is a rumour or fact.

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

Talk together:

• Why does Allah ask for proof?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we avoid spreading rumours?
• What makes good evidence?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will not pass on anything I haven't checked."

• Check before sharing.
• Go on a proof hunt.
• Share the rumour test.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:157) says bring your book. Explore it together!

Action: Not pass on anything you haven't checked.
