Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever heard a bully pretend to be the good guy?"

Watch the Musa & Amina video A New Journey to Egypt! Pharaoh, Episode 1. The opening part is enough.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What reason did Pharaoh give?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Pharaoh pretend Musa was the troublemaker?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ghafir is surah 40. Find ayah 26. The key word al-fasad means corruption or mischief. Pharaoh wanted to hurt Musa, but pretended he was protecting the people. It was Pharaoh himself who caused harm. Bullies sometimes twist the truth to look good. Allah sees the truth behind every excuse.

Fact: Which surah tells that Pharaoh claimed to be the people's highest lord?

Ages 5–8: True or twisted? Act out a story where someone blames another for what they did, and spot the twist.

Ages 9–12: Spotting spin. Write how to tell when someone is twisting the truth.

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

Talk together:

• Why do people who do wrong blame others?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we spot when the truth is twisted?
• What should we do when someone blames us unfairly?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell the full truth even when it makes me look bad."

• Tell the full truth.
• Act true or twisted.
• Share spotting spin.
• Next time: the next ayah (40:27) shows Musa seeking refuge in Allah. Explore it together!

Action: Tell the full truth even when it makes you look bad.
