Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does it mean to really listen?"

Put on a reciter's Al-Ma'idah from NgajiBareng04 and follow along for a little while.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why add 'Allah knows what is in hearts'?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'idah is surah 5. Find ayah 7. The Companions promised the Prophet to hear and obey. Saying it is easy; living it takes effort. Allah knows if the heart truly means it.

Fact: In Al-Baqarah 2:285, believers say 'We hear and we obey'.

Ages 5–8: Hear and do. Play a game of listening and following kind instructions.

Ages 9–12: Promise to Allah. Write what 'we hear and we obey' means in your life.

Finish with: "Believers say: we hear and we ___."

Talk together:

• What did believers say?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does Allah know?
• What will you obey this week?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do what I'm asked the first time."

• Hear and obey.
• Allah knows hearts.
• Mean it.
• Next time: the next ayah (5:8) teaches justice even with enemies. Explore it together!

Action: Do what you're asked the first time.
