Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do we find our way somewhere we have never been?"

Watch the learning junction video Maps and Directions.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will Allah do for them?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah guide people?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Muhammad is surah 47. Find ayah 5. The key word sayahdihim means He will guide them. Just as a map shows us the way, Allah guides those who strive for Him to what is best and puts their lives in order. Guidance comes through the Quran, the Prophet's example and good people around us.

Fact: What are the four main compass directions?

Ages 5–8: Treasure map. Draw a map of your home with an X for a hidden treasure.

Ages 9–12: Guides list. List five ways Allah guides people.

Finish with: "I found that the four compass directions are ___."

Talk together:

• What guides you when you are unsure?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does the Quran act like a map?
• Who has guided you to good?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for guidance before making a choice."

• Ask Allah for guidance.
• Draw a treasure map.
• Share your guides list.
• Next time: the next ayah (47:6) says they will enter the garden. Explore it together!

Action: Ask Allah for guidance before making a choice.
