4-I guide
Then We let the rest be drowned.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens if someone refuses help again and again?"
Watch the DUA KIDS video Prophet Nuh, Quran Stories in English.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happened to those who refused?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why didn't they get on the ark?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 82. The key word aghraqna means We drowned. Nuh invited his people for a very long time, but they refused and mocked him. When the flood came, they were not on the ark. Even one of Nuh's own sons refused to board. Faith is a personal choice, and the door stays open only while we are alive.
Fact: In which surah does Nuh call to his son to board the ark?
Ages 5–8: Life jacket. Talk about how a life jacket keeps you safe, and how faith keeps our hearts safe.
Ages 9–12: Choice and outcome. Write why even a prophet's son had to make his own choice.
Finish with: "I found that the surah is ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say yes quickly to an invitation to do good."
Action: Say yes quickly to an invitation to do good.
