4-I guide
And that Our forces would surely be the ones who overcome.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Does truth always win in the end?"
Watch the Edu Explorers video Conquest of Makkah, a 3-minute Islamic story.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will overcome in the end?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who are Allah's soldiers?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 173. The key word jundana means Our soldiers, those on Allah's side. Allah's side always wins in the end, though not always quickly. When the Prophet returned to Makkah, it opened peacefully, and he forgave the people who had hurt him. That is what victory looks like for believers: truth, mercy and forgiveness.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah Yusuf has Yusuf telling his brothers there is no blame on them today?
Ages 5–8: Kind winner. Play a game and practise being a kind, forgiving winner.

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be a kind and forgiving winner in games."
Action: Be a kind and forgiving winner in games.
