Start with bismillah.

Play a quick game: follow three spoken instructions in order. Ask: "Was it easy to listen carefully?"

Watch the BBC Bitesize video Listening and following instructions.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did these peoples do wrong?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is it so important to listen to the messengers?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 10. The key words 'asaw rasula rabbihim mean they disobeyed their Lord's messenger. Each messenger brought clear guidance like a signpost on a road. Those who ignored it went the wrong way and faced the result.

Fact: Why do roads have signs with shapes and colours instead of only words?

Ages 5–8: Simon says. Play a listening game where you only follow instructions that start with "please".

Ages 9–12: Sign shapes. Find what different road sign shapes mean (circle, triangle, octagon).

Finish with: "I found that road signs use shapes so that ___."

Talk together:

• Why do some people ignore good instructions?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who guides us today to the right way?
• How do we follow the Prophet's guidance?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will follow instructions the first time I hear them."

• Follow instructions the first time.
• Play the listening game.
• Share your sign-shapes findings.
• Next time: the next ayah (69:11) tells how Allah carried people in a ship when the water rose. Explore it together!

Action: Follow instructions the first time you hear them.
