Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Pharaoh think a real messenger should have?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people think fancy things make someone important?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 53. The key word aswiratun means bracelets. In Pharaoh's time, leaders wore heavy gold bracelets to show power. Pharaoh said: if Musa were important, he would have gold, or angels marching beside him. But Allah does not measure people by jewellery. Musa had something far greater: Allah's message.

Fact: What did ancient Egyptians make jewellery from?

Ages 5–8: Inside or outside? Draw a person in plain clothes with a golden heart.

Ages 9–12: Judged by looks. Write about a time someone was judged by how they looked.

Finish with: "I found that Egyptian jewellery was made from ___."

Talk together:

• Why did Pharaoh judge Musa by gold?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What is more valuable than gold bracelets?
• How can we avoid judging by appearance?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will get to know someone before judging them."

• Know before judging.
• Draw inside or outside.
• Share judged by looks.
• Next time: the next ayah (43:54) shows how Pharaoh fooled his people. Explore it together!
