Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever become friends with someone you used to argue with?"

Watch the Planet Kidness video Let's Talk It Out. (It has music.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What may Allah put between people?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can people who fought become friends?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mumtahanah is surah 60. Find ayah 7. The key word mawaddah means love and friendship. Allah can turn hearts. Many people who once fought the believers later became their dear friends in Islam. A broken bowl can be mended; a bridge can join two sides.

Fact: How do engineers build a bridge across a river?

Ages 5–8: Make up. Think of someone you argued with and make a small "let's be friends" card.

Ages 9–12: Bridge builders. Write three ways to make peace after an argument.

Finish with: "I found that bridges are built by ___."

Talk together:

• Why should we never lose hope in people?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we be a bridge between people?
• What helps you make up after a fight?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make peace with someone I argued with."

• Make peace with someone.
• Give your make-up card.
• Share bridge builders.
• Next time: the next ayah (60:8) says Allah loves kindness and fairness to those who don't fight us. Explore it together!

Action: Make peace with someone you argued with.
