4-I guide
Thamud also rejected the warnings.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How did people long ago carve homes into rock?"
Watch the Blind Reality video Madain Saleh (Hegra).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which people are mentioned now?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why didn't Thamud listen to Prophet Salih?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qamar is surah 54. Find ayah 23. The key word Thamud is the name of an ancient people. They lived in north-west Arabia and were skilled at cutting into rock. Their messenger was Prophet Salih, peace be upon him. Despite their skill, they rejected his warnings.
Fact: Where in Arabia did the people of Thamud live?
Ages 5–8: Rock art. Draw a house carved into a cliff.
Ages 9–12: Map it. Find AlUla on a map of Saudi Arabia and describe the land around it.
Finish with: "I found that Thamud lived near ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will use one of my skills to help someone."
Action: Use one of your skills to help someone.
