Opening the ayah…
وَٱلَّذِى جَآءَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦٓ ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ
Wa -lladhī jā'a bi ṣṣid'qi waṣaddaqa bihī 'ūlā'ika humu l-muttaqūna
And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - such are the men who do right.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The one who brings the truth and those who accept it as true are the people who are mindful of Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How can you support someone who tells the truth?"
Watch the MiniMuslims video Honesty, Episode 2. Part of it is enough.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two people are praised?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be someone who supports the truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zumar is surah 39. Find ayah 33. The key word saddaqa means he confirmed it as true. The Prophet brought the truth, and those who believed him and stood by him are praised. Both bringing the truth and supporting it are noble. When someone speaks the truth, we can stand with them.
Fact: Which prophet does Surah Maryam call a truthful prophet, siddiq?
Ages 5–8: Truth team. Practise saying: I believe you, when someone tells the truth about a mistake.
Ages 9–12: Standing with truth. Write about a time you supported someone who was being honest.
Finish with: "I found that the prophet is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank someone for being honest."
Action: Thank someone for being honest.
