Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever ignored a warning and then wished you hadn't?"

Watch the Little Kids of Jannah video The Story of Prophet Hud.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did the people of 'Ad answer Hud?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people sometimes dare others to prove a warning?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ahqaf is surah 46. Find ayah 22. The key word ta'tina means bring it to us. Instead of thinking about Hud's advice, his people mocked him and dared him to bring the punishment. Daring someone is not the same as being brave. Wise people listen to a warning before it is too late.

Fact: What were the people of 'Ad famous for building?

Ages 5–8: Warning signs. Draw three warning signs you see around you and what they protect us from.

Ages 9–12: Listen or mock. Write how the story would change if 'Ad had listened.

Finish with: "I found that 'Ad were famous for ___."

Talk together:

• Why did 'Ad mock instead of listening?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When is it wise to listen to a warning?
• How can we respond politely to advice?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will listen to a warning from a parent or teacher without arguing."

• Listen to warnings without arguing.
• Draw warning signs.
• Share listen or mock.
• Next time: the next ayah (46:23) says only Allah knows when. Explore it together!

Action: Listen to a warning from a parent or teacher without arguing.
