Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who is in your family tree?"

Watch the Pants Bear video Family Tree For Kids.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two prophets are named?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah keep sending prophets in the same families?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hadid is surah 57. Find ayah 26. The key words dhurriyyatihima mean their descendants. Allah chose Prophets Nuh and Ibrahim (peace be upon them), and many later prophets came from their families. But even in good families, each person chooses guidance for themselves.

Fact: Which prophets were descendants of Ibrahim?

Ages 5–8: My tree. Draw your own family tree with three generations.

Ages 9–12: Prophets' tree. Find out which prophets came from Ibrahim's family.

Finish with: "I found that Ibrahim's descendants include ___."

Talk together:

• What good things can families pass on?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why must each person choose guidance themselves?
• What would you like to pass on to your family one day?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask an older relative about our family history."

• Ask about your family history.
• Draw your family tree.
• Share the prophets' tree.
• Next time: the next ayah (57:27) mentions 'Isa and compassion. Explore it together!

Action: Ask an older relative about our family history.
