Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How do the leaders answer?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who is responsible for my choices?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 29. The key word mu'minin means believers. The leaders throw the blame back: you chose this yourselves. Both sides blame each other, but Allah, Ash-Shahid, witnessed everything. In the end each person answers for their own choices.

Fact: Which ayah in Surah Al-An'am says no soul carries another's burden?

Ages 5–8: My choice. Hold up a red and green card and choose green for each good action called out.

Ages 9–12: Choice diary. Note two choices you made today and who was responsible for each one.

Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Al-An'am ___."

Talk together:

• Why do both groups blame each other?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is each person responsible for their own faith?
• How can we own our choices?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say 'that was my choice' instead of blaming others."

• Play red and green.
• Share your choice diary.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:30) continues the leaders' reply. Explore it together!

Action: Say 'that was your choice' instead of blaming others.
