Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What makes a true friend?"

Watch the MiniIman Kids video The Sunnah of Friendship.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the wrongdoers not have?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who will be a true friend on that Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ghafir is surah 40. Find ayah 18. The key word al-azifah means the approaching one, a name for the Last Day. On that Day, people who did wrong will look for friends to help them, but none will be able to. Good friends who help each other obey Allah now will be friends forever.

Fact: Which surah's name means the Inevitable Event, and what is its number?

Ages 5–8: Friend recipe. Draw a bowl and list the ingredients of a good friend, like kindness and honesty.

Ages 9–12: Forever friends. Write how good friends can help each other towards Jannah.

Finish with: "I found that the surah is number ___."

Talk together:

• What kind of friend will help you on the Last Day?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we be friends who help each other do good?
• Why does the Quran call the Last Day approaching?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remind a friend of a good deed in a kind way."

• Remind a friend kindly.
• Write a friend recipe.
• Share forever friends.
• Next time: the next ayah (40:19) says Allah knows the tricks of the eyes. Explore it together!

Action: Remind a friend of a good deed in a kind way.
