Ages 5–8: Counting beads. Use beads or fingers to say astaghfirullah ten times slowly.

Ages 9–12: Example list. List five everyday things the Prophet did that we can copy.

Talk together:

• What makes the Prophet easy to follow?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why do we keep asking Allah to forgive us?
• What does going straight to Allah mean?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?
