4-I guide
And peace be upon all the messengers.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Which prophets have we met in this surah?"
Watch the Kids Videos For Kids TV video Peace Be upon the Prophet, a gentle nasheed.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who receives peace in this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does peace go to all the messengers?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 181. The key word al-mursalin means all the messengers. Earlier the surah sent peace on Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Harun and Ilyas by name. Now peace goes to every messenger, known and unknown. We love and respect all of them, from Adam to Muhammad.
Fact: How many prophets and messengers does this surah mention by name?
