Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who are your truest friends?"

Listen together as Mishary Alafasy recites ayat 51–57 of Al-Ma'idah, a short clip shared by MZG.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who are our true allies?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes a good friend in faith?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'idah is surah 5. Find ayah 55. True friends help us remember Allah. Friends who pray and give are a treasure.

Fact: The Prophet taught that a good friend is like a perfume seller: you benefit just by being near (Bukhari).

Ages 5–8: Friend picture. Draw a friend who helps you do good.

Ages 9–12: Good company. Write why good friends matter.

Finish with: "A good friend is like a ___ seller."

Talk together:

• Who are true allies?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What do they do?
• Who is a good friend to you?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank a friend who helps me do good."

• Allah is our ally.
• Choose good friends.
• Pray together.
• Next time: the next ayah (5:56) says Allah's party will win. Explore it together!

Action: Thank a friend who helps you do good.
