Watch the Islamic Lessons Made Easy video Al-Wahid Explained.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What truth do the oaths lead to?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do we know God is One?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 4. The key word wahid means one. After three oaths comes the answer: your God is One. The whole universe follows the same patterns: the same gravity, the same light, the same water cycle. One design points to one Designer. That is tawhid, the heart of Islam.
Fact: What is the Arabic word for believing that Allah is One?
Ages 5–8: One maker hunt. Find five things at home and say "Allah made the materials for this."
Ages 9–12: Same everywhere. Write three laws of nature that work the same all over the world.

Talk together:
