Opening the ayah…
فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Fa'akh'raj'nā man kāna fīhā mina l-mu''minīna
Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there,

4-I guide
We brought out the believers who were there.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you do when the fire alarm rings at school?"
Watch the Woohoo Storytime video It's a Fire Drill, Roys Bedoys!
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who did Allah bring out to safety?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah look after those who believe?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Adh-Dhariyat is surah 51. Find ayah 35. The key word akhrajna means We brought out. Before the punishment came, Allah brought the believers out to safety. Just like a fire drill gets everyone out calmly, Allah took care of those who listened.
Fact: What are the main rules of a fire drill?
Ages 5–8: Home drill. Practise your family's way out of the house, walking calmly.
Ages 9–12: Meeting point. Choose a safe meeting point outside your home and draw a map to it.
Finish with: "I found that in a fire drill we should ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will practise our home safety plan with my family."
Action: Practise our home safety plan with your family.
