Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why is now the right time to turn to Allah?"

Watch the Deen and kids video Repent before it's too late.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Did their late belief help them?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is Allah's way with His servants?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ghafir is surah 40. Ayah 85 is the last ayah. The key words sunnat Allah mean Allah's way. Allah's way never changes: He sends guidance, gives time, and accepts those who turn to Him sincerely. Once the punishment arrives, the time for choosing is over. Surah Ghafir began with Allah who forgives and accepts repentance, and ends by reminding us to turn to Him now.

Fact: Which ayah in Surah Al-Ahzab says you will never find any change in Allah's way?

Ages 5–8: Door open. Open a door and say: Allah's door of forgiveness is open now, let's walk through it.

Ages 9–12: Surah wheel. Draw a wheel with a spoke for each part of Surah Ghafir: the Forgiver, the angels' du'a, the believer in Pharaoh's court, call on Me, and signs of creation.

Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Al-Ahzab ___."

Talk together:

• Which part of Surah Ghafir touched your heart?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does the surah begin and end with turning to Allah?
• How can we turn to Allah today?
• What would you like to ask about this surah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah's forgiveness every night before sleeping."

• Recite Surah Ghafir (or part of it) with someone at home.
• Open the door of forgiveness.
• Share your surah wheel.
• Next time: the next surah, Fussilat (41), explains the Quran in detail. Explore it together!

Action: Ask Allah's forgiveness every night before sleeping.
