Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What usually happens when everyone blames everyone else?"

Watch the Hi Smartie video Blaming Others or Saying Sorry?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the brothers do next?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people blame others when things go wrong?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qalam is surah 68. Find ayah 30. The key word yatalawamun means blaming one another. Blaming is like a tangled rope: the more you pull, the tighter the knot. Untangling begins when each person looks at their own part.

Fact: How do sailors untangle a knotted rope?

Ages 5–8: Knot game. Tie a loose knot in a string. Untangle it gently, step by step.

Ages 9–12: My part. Think of a recent argument. Write what your part was, not the other person's.

Finish with: "I found that knots are untangled by ___."

Talk together:

• Why doesn't blaming fix anything?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can we say instead of blaming?
• How can families fix problems together?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say "my part was..." instead of blaming."

• Look at your own part.
• Play the knot game.
• Share your "my part" note.
• Next time: the next ayah (68:31) says they admitted they went too far. Explore it together!

Action: Say.
