Opening the ayah…
فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
Famā wajad'nā fīhā ghay'ra bay'tin mmina l-mus'limīna
But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
We found only one house of Muslims there.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can one person or one family really make a difference?"
Watch the Storybag video How one person can make a difference.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many believing homes were found?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did that one family stay faithful when no one else did?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Adh-Dhariyat is surah 51. Find ayah 36. The key words bayt min al-muslimin mean one house of Muslims. In the whole town, only the household of Lut stayed faithful to Allah. Being few doesn't matter; staying true does. One family's faith can shine like a light.
Fact: What is one small habit your family could start together?
Ages 5–8: Family light. Draw your home with a light shining from it and write one good habit inside.
Ages 9–12: Family plan. Plan one weekly family activity that brings you closer to Allah.
Finish with: "I found that one family habit we could start is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, our family will pray one salah together every day."
Action: Pray together as a family.
