4-I guide
Musa told Pharaoh plainly that he had been sent by the Lord of all the worlds.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How brave do you need to be to speak to a tyrant?"
A short clip on Nur al-Qur’an (Light of the Qur’an) recites ayat 102–120 of Al-A'raf. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Musa say he was?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Where did Musa's courage come from?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 104. Musa stood before the most powerful man in Egypt and clearly said he was sent by the Lord of all the worlds. His courage came from trusting Allah.
Fact: Find Ta-Ha 20:44: speak to him gently.
Ages 5–8: Brave and gentle. Practise saying something important gently.
Ages 9–12: Courage. Write how Musa was both brave and gentle.
Finish with: "Allah told Musa to speak to Pharaoh ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say something important gently."
Action: Say something important gently.
