In short

Pharaoh said, 'You believed in him before I gave you permission? This is a plot you planned in the city to drive its people out; you will soon know.'

Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Does anyone need permission to believe in Allah?"
Begin Ahmed Al-Ajmi's Al-A'raf on S D2 and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Pharaoh accuse them of?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why was Pharaoh so angry?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 123. Pharaoh thought people needed his permission even to believe. He accused the sorcerers of plotting. No one needs a ruler's permission to believe in Allah.
Fact: In Ta-Ha 20:71, Pharaoh says the same.
Ages 5–8: Free to believe. Talk about how faith is between you and Allah.
Ages 9–12: Control. Write why faith can't be controlled by others.
Finish with: "Pharaoh said they believed before his ___."
