Start with bismillah.

Ask: "If a friend tells you something surprising, how can you check it is true?"

Watch the Learn Bright lesson on telling facts apart from opinions, then pause and talk.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does each group follow?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be sure I am following the truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Muhammad is surah 47. Find ayah 3. The key words al-batil and al-haqq mean falsehood and truth. Some people follow ideas that are empty and false; believers follow the truth from Allah. The Quran often uses examples and comparisons, called amthal, to make lessons clear.

Fact: What is the difference between a fact and an opinion?

Ages 5–8: True or false? Say five sentences and decide which are true.

Ages 9–12: Example hunt. Find one example or comparison the Quran uses and explain the lesson.

Finish with: "I found that a fact is ___ and an opinion is ___."

Talk together:

• Why do some people follow false ideas?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do examples help us understand?
• How can we check whether something is true?
• Which question about this ayah is still on your mind?

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

• Check before believing.
• Play true or false.
• Share your example hunt.
• Next time: the next ayah (47:4) speaks about a hard time of battle. Explore it together!

Action: Check one thing you hear before believing it.
