Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why might a surah begin with letters on their own?"

Play the short Al-A'raf clip of ayat 1–10 from PAR CHANNEL.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many letters open this surah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What could the opening letters teach us?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 1. Al-A'raf means 'the Heights', a place between Jannah and the Fire mentioned in this surah. It is one of the longest surahs and tells the stories of many prophets: Adam, Nuh, Hud, Salih, Lut, Shu'ayb and Musa.

Fact: Which other surah begins with Alif Lam Mim and which begins with Sad alone.

Ages 5–8: Letter hunt. Find Alif, Lam, Mim and Sad on the first page of the surah.

Ages 9–12: Prophet list. Write the prophets you expect to meet in Al-A'raf.

Finish with: "Al-A'raf means the ___."

Talk together:

• What does Al-A'raf mean?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Which prophets are in this surah?
• What do you want to learn from it?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn one story from Surah Al-A'raf."

• A surah of many prophets.
• Find the letters.
• Start learning it.
• Next time: the next ayah (7:2) describes the Book sent to the Prophet. Explore it together!

Action: Learn one story from Surah Al-A'raf.
