Opening the ayah…
إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلْأَشْهَٰدُ
'Innā lananṣuru russulanā wa-lladhīna 'āmanū fī l-ḥayāti ddun'yā wayaw'ma yaqūmu l-'ash'hādu
We will, without doubt, help our messengers and those who believe, (both) in this world's life and on the Day when the Witnesses will stand forth,-
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
We will certainly give victory to Our messengers and the believers in this life and on the Day the witnesses rise.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Has Allah ever helped you in a surprising way?"
Watch the Alkhair Axis video Prophet Yusuf and the Great Dream.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When does Allah help the believers?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah help believers today?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ghafir is surah 40. Find ayah 51. The key word lanansuru means We will surely help. Allah promises to help His messengers and believers in this life and the next. Sometimes help comes quickly, sometimes after patience, as with Yusuf, who went from the well to an honoured position. Allah's help always arrives at the right time.
Fact: Which surah tells that Allah helped the Prophet in the cave during the Hijrah?
Ages 5–8: Help story. Tell about a time someone helped you, then thank Allah for sending them.
Ages 9–12: Help in the Quran. Find three stories where Allah helped a prophet after patience.
Finish with: "I found that the surah is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for help first in everything I find hard."
Action: Ask Allah for help first in everything you find hard.
