4-I guide
Your companion has not lost his way, nor has he been led astray.
Start with bismillah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is 'your companion' in this ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did the people of Makkah call the Prophet 'the trustworthy'?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Najm is surah 53. Find ayah 2. The key word sahibukum means your companion. The people of Makkah had known the Prophet all his life. They called him al-Amin, the trustworthy, because he never lied. Allah tells them their companion is not lost or confused; he is guided.
Fact: What nickname did the people of Makkah give the Prophet before revelation?
Ages 5–8: Truth tally. Make a tally of every time you tell the truth when it was hard this week.
Ages 9–12: Trust builder. Write five things that make people trust someone.
Finish with: "I found that the Prophet was called ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will be someone others can trust."
Action: Be someone others can trust.
