Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why is it important to keep promises?"

Watch the Islam For The Kids nasheed I Keep My Promises.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will Allah show the Prophet?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Has Allah ever broken a promise?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 42. The key word muqtadirun means fully able. Allah promised to support the Prophet, and the Prophet lived to see Makkah open its doors to Islam. Allah never breaks a promise. When we keep our promises, we copy one of the qualities Allah loves.

Fact: In what year did the Prophet return to Makkah peacefully?

Ages 5–8: Promise tracker. Write three promises and tick them off when you keep them.

Ages 9–12: Promise kept. Find one promise in the Quran that came true in the Prophet's lifetime.

Finish with: "I found that he returned to Makkah in the year ___ after the hijrah."

Talk together:

• How do we know Allah keeps His promises?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does keeping promises build trust?
• Which promise is hard for you to keep?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep every promise I make."

• Keep every promise.
• Use a promise tracker.
• Share promise kept.
• Next time: the next ayah (43:43) says hold firmly to the revelation. Explore it together!

Action: Keep every promise you make.
