سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًۭا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ
Sayaʻ'lamūna ghadan mmani l-kadhdhābu l-'ashiru
Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Tomorrow they will find out who is the boastful liar.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is honesty so important?"
Watch the ABC Kids video The Importance Of Honesty.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will Thamud find out?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Does the truth always come out in the end?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qamar is surah 54. Find ayah 26. The key word ghadan means tomorrow. Thamud called Salih a liar, but Allah said they would soon see the truth. Lies may hide for a while, but the truth always comes out. Honest people can stay calm, because they have nothing to hide.
Fact: What is one famous story about how a lie was found out?
Ages 5–8: True or false game. Say a true thing and a false thing and let others guess which is which.
Ages 9–12: Honesty story. Write a short story where the truth comes out in the end.
Finish with: "I found that the truth came out when ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell the truth even when it is hard."
Action: Tell the truth when it's hard.
