Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do you know what to believe when people say different things?"

Watch the Assalamualaikum Iman episode Allah Knows.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is speaking in the next ayat?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I tell if a claim is true?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Dukhan is surah 44. Find ayah 34. The key word la-yaqulun means they surely say. This short ayah turns from Musa's story back to the people of Makkah and introduces their claim. The Quran often quotes what people say and then answers it. Listening carefully, then checking the evidence, is a good habit.

Fact: What is a claim?

Ages 5–8: Who said it? Play a game guessing who said a sentence and whether it's true.

Ages 9–12: Claim check. Write one claim you heard this week and how you could check it.

Finish with: "I found that a claim is ___."

Talk together:

• Why does the Quran quote what people said?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do you check if something is true?
• Who do you trust for answers?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will check one thing I hear before repeating it."

• Check before repeating.
• Play who said it.
• Share your claim check.
• Next time: the next ayah (44:35) tells what they said about death. Explore it together!

Action: Check one thing you hear before repeating it.
