4-I guide
Peace be on Nuh throughout all the worlds.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do we say after mentioning a prophet's name?"
Watch the Truths of Islam video Prophet Nuh and Allah's Promise.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What greeting does Allah give Nuh?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah send peace on the prophets?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 79. The key word salam means peace. Allah Himself sends peace upon Nuh. That is why Muslims say "peace be upon him" after a prophet's name. It shows love and respect for every messenger Allah sent.
Fact: What short letters are often written after a prophet's name to mean "peace be upon him"?
Ages 5–8: Peace card. Make a card saying "peace be upon Nuh" and decorate it with an ark.
Ages 9–12: Respect habit. Write the names of five prophets and practise adding "peace be upon him" when you say them.
Finish with: "I found that the letters are ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember to say peace be upon him after each prophet's name."
Action: Remember to say peace be upon him after each prophet's name.
