Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do messages travel from one person to another?"

Watch the Yaqeen Institute video When He Would Receive Revelation.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What are the three ways Allah speaks to people?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Musa hear Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shura is surah 42. Find ayah 51. The key word wahyan means by revelation. Allah speaks to His chosen servants in three ways. He can put a message into a prophet's heart. He can speak from behind a veil, as Musa heard Allah at the mountain without seeing Him. Or He sends a messenger angel, like Jibril, who brought the Quran.

Fact: At which mountain did Musa hear Allah speak to him?

Ages 5–8: Three ways chart. Draw three boxes: a heart, a curtain and a letter, to remember the three ways.

Ages 9–12: Prophet examples. Find an example in the Quran for each of the three ways and write it down.

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

Talk together:

• Why can't people see Allah in this world?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How did the Quran reach the Prophet?
• How does Allah's message reach us today?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will read one ayah and think of it as Allah's message to me."

• Read an ayah as a message.
• Draw the three ways.
• Share your prophet examples.
• Next time: the next ayah (42:52) calls the Quran a light. Explore it together!

Action: Read one ayah and think of it as Allah's message to you.
