Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What makes a gift to Allah accepted?"

Play the short Al-Ma'idah clip of ayah 27 from Ummah Muslim.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the accepted brother say?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why was one offering accepted?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'idah is surah 5. Find ayah 27. Scholars name the brothers Habil and Qabil. Allah accepts deeds done sincerely with taqwa. Jealousy made one brother angry.

Fact: Al-Hajj 22:37 says Allah receives our taqwa, not the meat or blood.

Ages 5–8: Sincere gift. Give something to someone just for Allah.

Ages 9–12: Taqwa. Write what makes a deed accepted.

Finish with: "Allah accepts from the ___."

Talk together:

• What did the brothers offer?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why was one accepted?
• How can your deeds be sincere?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one deed only for Allah."

• Be sincere.
• Avoid jealousy.
• Allah accepts the mindful.
• Next time: the next ayah (5:28) tells how the good brother answered a threat. Explore it together!

Action: Do one deed only for Allah.
