4-I guide
Pharaoh said, 'If you have come with a sign, then show it, if you are telling the truth.'
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What would you show to prove you're telling the truth?"
مقاطع تعليمية posted a short recitation of ayat 103–126 of Al-A'raf. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Pharaoh ask for?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Pharaoh demand a sign?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 106. Pharaoh challenged Musa to prove himself. Allah had given Musa two signs to show.
Fact: Find Al-Qasas 28:32, the two signs Musa was given.
Ages 5–8: Prove it. Talk about how we show we're honest.
Ages 9–12: Signs. Write why Allah gave prophets miracles.
Finish with: "Musa was given ___ main signs at first."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will show honesty through actions."
Action: Show honesty through actions.
