Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Is it easier to listen to one teacher or to many people shouting different things?"

Watch the MuslimkidzTV video Allah Is One, Who Created Everything.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the deniers find so surprising?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why can there only be one God?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Sad is surah 38. Find ayah 5. The key word ilah means a god, something that is worshipped. The people of Makkah had many idols made of stone and wood. They were amazed that the Prophet called them to worship only Allah. But the idols could not hear, see or help. Tawhid, believing in one God, is the first and most important belief in Islam.

Fact: What is the surah number of Surah Al-Ikhlas?

Ages 5–8: One maker. Look at a toy, a plant and your hand, and say who made each one.

Ages 9–12: Why one? Write two reasons why the universe works in harmony and how that points to one Creator.

Finish with: "I found that Surah Al-Ikhlas is surah ___."

Talk together:

• Why were the people surprised by the message of one God?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can a stone idol not do?
• How does believing in one God make life simpler?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice three things and remind myself that Allah alone made them."

• Notice what Allah made.
• Find the one maker.
• Share why one.
• Next time: the next ayah (38:6) shows the leaders walking away. Explore it together!

Action: Notice three things and remind yourself that Allah alone made them.
