Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why might someone need to leave quietly at night?"

Watch the Luqmay video He Took All Their Gold... But Why?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When were Musa and the believers told to leave?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did Musa feel leaving Egypt in the dark?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Dukhan is surah 44. Find ayah 23. The key word fa-asri means travel by night. Allah told Musa to lead the believers out of Egypt quietly at night, and warned him that Pharaoh's army would follow. Musa obeyed and trusted Allah, even though the road ahead was unknown.

Fact: Which other prophet travelled by night on the hijrah?

Ages 5–8: Night walk. With a grown-up, take a short walk at dusk and notice the quiet.

Ages 9–12: Trust map. Draw the route from Egypt to the sea and label where trust was needed.

Finish with: "I found that the other prophet was ___."

Talk together:

• Why did Allah warn Musa that they would be followed?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do you feel when you don't know what's ahead?
• How does trusting Allah help in the dark?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say bismillah and trust Allah before something new."

• Trust Allah before something new.
• Take a night walk.
• Share your trust map.
• Next time: the next ayah (44:24) tells of the sea left parted. Explore it together!

Action: Say bismillah and trust Allah before something new.
