Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do you prove you are telling the truth?"

Watch the Deen Love Kids video Stories from the Seerah: The Truthfulness of Prophet Muhammad.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah challenge them to bring?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Did they have a book to show?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 157. The key word kitab means a book. Allah challenges them: show a revealed book that supports your claim. They had nothing. The Quran itself is the clearest proof, and it was brought by the Prophet, known by everyone as truthful.

Fact: What is the name of the first word revealed of the Quran, meaning "read"?

Ages 5–8: Show and tell. Bring a favourite book and say one true thing from it.

Ages 9–12: Truthful proof. Write why the Prophet's truthfulness made his message easier to trust.

Finish with: "I found that the first word was ___."

Talk together:

• Why couldn't they bring a book?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is the Quran strong proof?
• How can we be known for truthfulness?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be careful to tell the truth every time."

• Always tell the truth.
• Show and tell a book.
• Share truthful proof.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:158) mentions the jinn. Explore it together!

Action: Be careful to tell the truth every time.
