Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does a wise person do when people disagree?"

Watch the Tia & Tofu story The Wise Child.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things did 'Isa bring?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does wisdom help people stop quarrelling?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 63. The key word al-hikmah means wisdom. 'Isa came to the Children of Israel with clear signs and wisdom to explain the things they argued about. Wisdom means knowing the right thing to say and do at the right time. It helps settle arguments fairly.

Fact: Which prophet does the Quran say was given wisdom as a young boy?

Ages 5–8: Wise words. Practise a wise thing to say when two friends argue.

Ages 9–12: Peacemaker. Write how you could help two friends settle a disagreement fairly.

Finish with: "I found that the prophet given wisdom as a boy was ___."

Talk together:

• What makes someone wise?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can wisdom settle arguments?
• Who is a wise person you know?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will help settle an argument kindly instead of taking sides."

• Help settle an argument.
• Practise wise words.
• Share peacemaker.
• Next time: the next ayah (43:64) shares 'Isa's message: Allah is my Lord and yours. Explore it together!

Action: Help settle an argument kindly instead of taking sides.
