Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who would you trust to guide you on a dark path?"

Watch the Muslims Way video Allah Guides Whom He Wills.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Can anyone mislead the one Allah guides?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do I ask Allah to keep guiding me?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zumar is surah 39. Find ayah 37. The key word mudill means one who misleads. When Allah guides someone, no person, trick or temptation can take that guidance away, as long as they hold on to it. That is why we ask Allah for guidance every day and thank Him for it.

Fact: Which name of Allah means the Guide?

Ages 5–8: Holding tight. Hold a rope tightly while someone gently tugs, and talk about holding on to guidance.

Ages 9–12: Guidance gifts. List the ways Allah has guided you so far in life.

Finish with: "I found that the Guide is ___."

Talk together:

• What does it mean that no one can mislead whom Allah guides?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we hold on to guidance?
• Who are the good guides in your life?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah each day for guiding me to Islam."

• Thank Allah for guidance.
• Try holding tight.
• Share guidance gifts.
• Next time: the next ayah (39:38) asks who created the heavens and the earth. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah each day for guiding you to Islam.
