Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How would you introduce yourself to a king?"

Watch the IQRA Cartoon video Prophet Stories Musa, Part 1. You can watch the first part.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did Musa introduce himself?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Musa say 'Lord of all the worlds' to Pharaoh?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 46. The key words rabb al-'alamin mean Lord of all the worlds. Pharaoh thought he was the greatest lord in Egypt. Musa calmly reminded him that there is a Lord over everyone, including kings. The same story is told in many surahs, each time with a new lesson.

Fact: How many times is Musa mentioned by name in the Quran?

Ages 5–8: Introduce yourself. Practise introducing yourself politely to a grown-up.

Ages 9–12: Story lessons. Find two surahs that tell Musa's story and write one lesson from each.

Finish with: "I found that Musa is named about ___ times."

Talk together:

• Why did Musa speak about the Lord of all the worlds?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does the Quran repeat Musa's story?
• What new lesson do you notice here?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will speak politely and clearly even to people who are important."

• Speak politely to everyone.
• Practise introducing yourself.
• Share story lessons.
• Next time: the next ayah (43:47) shows them laughing at the signs. Explore it together!

Action: Speak politely and clearly even to people who are important.
