Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What makes a friend a true friend?"

Watch the Islamic Cartoon By Tara video Jannah in Islam.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who are the believers' friends?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would I ask for in Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Fussilat is surah 41. Find ayah 31. The key word awliya'ukum means your allies or close friends. The angels promise to stand by believers in this life and in the next. In Jannah, believers will have everything their hearts long for. True friendship is about helping each other towards good forever.

Fact: Which surah describes rivers of water, milk and honey in Jannah?

Ages 5–8: Friendship bracelet. Make a bracelet for a friend and say a du'a for them.

Ages 9–12: Forever friend. Write what you can do this week to be a friend who helps someone towards Jannah.

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

Talk together:

• How are the angels friends to believers?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What kind of friend do you want to be?
• What would you love to have in Jannah?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will help a friend do one good deed."

• Help a friend do good.
• Make a friendship bracelet.
• Share your forever friend plan.
• Next time: the next ayah (41:32) calls Jannah a welcome gift. Explore it together!

Action: Help a friend do one good deed.
