Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does it mean to be humble?"

Watch the Little Storyteller Kid video The Boy Who Learned Humility.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why can't anyone teach Allah anything?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Is there anything Allah does not know?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hujurat is surah 49. Find ayah 16. The key word a-tu'allimun means would you teach. Some people boasted about their faith as if Allah needed to be told. But Allah knows everything in the heavens and the earth, including what is in our hearts. This teaches us to be humble about our good deeds.

Fact: How many stars do scientists think are in our galaxy?

Ages 5–8: Humble helper. Do a good deed and don't tell anyone about it.

Ages 9–12: Knowledge size. Write three things scientists still don't know, and remember Allah knows them all.

Finish with: "I found that our galaxy has about ___ stars."

Talk together:

• Why is boasting about good deeds a problem?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does knowing Allah knows everything make us humble?
• How can we keep our good deeds sincere?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep one good deed a secret between me and Allah."

• Keep a good deed secret.
• Be a humble helper.
• Share what scientists don't know.
• Next time: the next ayah (49:17) says guidance is Allah's favour. Explore it together!

Action: Keep one good deed a secret between you and Allah.
