Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What do you think makes someone truly sincere?"

Watch the Khalid Green video The Sincere Pious Servants of Allah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who were saved from that ending?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did the sincere stay safe?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 74. The key word 'ibad means servants. Even when most people went astray, a group of sincere servants stayed true, and Allah protected them. This phrase returns again and again in the surah to give hope. In every story that follows, the sincere are saved.

Fact: What is the Arabic word for doing something purely for Allah?

Ages 5–8: Sincere seed. Plant a seed and say "this is for Allah" as you water it each day.

Ages 9–12: Story pattern. As you read the next stories in this surah, note who was saved each time.

Finish with: "I found that the word is ___."

Talk together:

• What saved the sincere servants?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does this phrase keep returning?
• How can we stay sincere when others are not?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will check my intention before each prayer."

• Check your intention.
• Water your sincere seed.
• Share the story pattern.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:75) begins the story of Nuh. Explore it together!

Action: Check your intention before each prayer.
