Opening the ayah…
وَرُسُلًۭا قَدْ قَصَصْنَٰهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَرُسُلًۭا لَّمْ نَقْصُصْهُمْ عَلَيْكَ ۚ وَكَلَّمَ ٱللَّهُ مُوسَىٰ تَكْلِيمًۭا

4-I guide
Some messengers' stories Allah told the Prophet, and others He did not, and Allah spoke to Musa directly.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Are there prophets we don't know about?"
Today's clip is a recitation of ayat 163–171 on NgajiBareng04. Close your eyes and think about 'Allah Spoke to Musa'.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whom did Allah speak to directly?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah tell us only some stories?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 164. There were many more prophets than the 25 named. Musa is called Kalimullah because Allah spoke to him directly.
Fact: Musa's title: Kalimullah, the one Allah spoke to.
Ages 5–8: Musa's title. Learn Musa's special title.
Ages 9–12: Many prophets. Write why we believe in prophets we don't know.
Finish with: "Musa is Kalim-___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn one story of Musa."
Action: Learn one story of Musa.
