4-I guide
And We made his offspring the survivors.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you think it was like to step off the ark onto dry land?"
Watch the DeenmomoVerse video Story of Prophet Nuh: Noah's Ark with Animals.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whose family continued on earth?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Are we all related to Nuh?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 77. The key word dhurriyyah means descendants. After the flood, the believers with Nuh made a new beginning, and his family spread across the earth. Many scholars explain that people today descend from those on the ark. A fresh start came after a great test.
Fact: Which prophet do some scholars call the second father of humanity, after Adam?
Ages 5–8: Animal pairs. Line up toy animals in pairs as if boarding the ark.
Ages 9–12: New beginnings. Write about a fresh start in your life and what you learned.

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make a fresh start on one habit."
Action: Make a fresh start on one habit.
