Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do parents warn children about danger?"

Watch the Zill Noorain Kids video What is the meaning of Taqwa?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does Allah call us in this ayah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah call us His servants?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zumar is surah 39. Find ayah 16. The key words ya ibadi mean O My servants. Allah describes the danger of the Fire briefly, then calls us lovingly: O My servants, be mindful of Me. A warning from someone who cares is a gift. Taqwa means being careful to please Allah and avoid what He dislikes.

Fact: In which ayah of this surah does Allah say? O My servants who have wronged yourselves, do not despair?

Ages 5–8: Safety signs. Draw three safety signs you know and talk about how warnings protect us.

Ages 9–12: Taqwa checklist. Write five daily habits that show taqwa.

Finish with: "I found that it is ayah ___ of Az-Zumar."

Talk together:

• Why is a warning from someone who loves you a kindness?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does taqwa look like at school?
• How does Allah show care when He says O My servants?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will choose one thing to stop doing because Allah dislikes it."

• Stop one disliked habit.
• Draw safety signs.
• Share your taqwa checklist.
• Next time: the next ayah (39:17) brings good news to those who turn to Allah. Explore it together!

Action: Choose one thing to stop doing because Allah dislikes it.
