Opening the ayah…
وَمِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّٰتِهِمْ وَإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ ۖ وَٱجْتَبَيْنَٰهُمْ وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ
Wa min' 'ābā'ihim' wadhurriyyātihim' wa'ikh'wānihim' . wa-j'tabay'nāhum' wahaday'nāhum' 'ilā ṣirāṭin mmus'taqīmin
(To them) and to their fathers, and progeny and brethren: We chose them, and we guided them to a straight way.
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
Allah also chose some of their fathers, children and brothers, and guided them to a straight path.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How can a family help each other stay on the right path?"
Play the short Al-An'am clip of ayat 83–90 from NgajiBareng04.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who else was chosen?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does family matter in guidance?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-An'am is surah 6. Find ayah 87. Guidance often runs through families: parents teaching children, brothers helping each other. Musa asked for his brother Harun as a helper.
Fact: In Ta-Ha 20:29–32, Musa asks for Harun's help.
Ages 5–8: Family helpers. Name one way your family helps you do good.
Ages 9–12: Guided families. Write about a prophet's family that helped him.
Finish with: "Musa asked Allah for his brother ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help a sibling or cousin do something good."
Action: Help a sibling or cousin do something good.
