Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who is someone you look up to, and why?"

Watch the Ryo & Coni video I Am A Role-Model.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What excuse did they give?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah send human messengers?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Taghabun is surah 64. Find ayah 6. The key words abasharun yahdunana mean shall humans guide us? Allah sent human messengers so people could see how to live, step by step, like a role model. Allah doesn't need anyone; we are the ones who need guidance.

Fact: What makes someone a good role model?

Ages 5–8: Footprints to follow. Draw footprints and write a good habit on each.

Ages 9–12: My role model. Write about a good role model and one habit you'd like to copy.

Finish with: "I found that a good role model ___."

Talk together:

• Why is a human messenger easy to learn from?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can you be a role model for younger children?
• Why do proud people refuse to listen?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be a good example for someone younger."

• Be a good example.
• Draw your footprints to follow.
• Share your role model.
• Next time: the next ayah (64:7) says we will surely be raised again. Explore it together!

Action: Be a good example for someone younger.
