Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How are Muslims all around the world like one family?"

Watch the Happy Believers video We Are One Ummah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What are all believers to each other?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I treat other Muslims like family?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hujurat is surah 49. Find ayah 10. The key word ikhwah means brothers. All believers, everywhere, are like one family, whatever language they speak or country they live in. Families make up after quarrels and look after each other. Doing this brings Allah's mercy.

Fact: About how many Muslims are there in the world?

Ages 5–8: Family circle. Draw a big circle of children from different places holding hands.

Ages 9–12: Ummah map. Mark five countries with many Muslims on a world map.

Finish with: "I found that there are about ___ Muslims in the world."

Talk together:

• What does it mean that believers are one family?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How should we treat Muslims we have never met?
• How can we keep the peace in our own families?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for Muslims in other countries."

• Make du'a for Muslims everywhere.
• Draw a family circle.
• Share your ummah map.
• Next time: the next ayah (49:11) says do not mock others. Explore it together!

Action: Make du'a for Muslims in other countries.
