Opening the ayah…
وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ أُمَّةٌۭ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ
Wa mimman' khalaq'nā 'ummatun yah'dūna bil-ḥaqqi wabihī yaʻ'dilūna
Of those We have created are people who direct (others) with truth. And dispense justice therewith.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Among those Allah created is a group who guide with the truth and act justly by it.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who are the good guides in your life?"
Today's listening comes from Ummah Muslim: the reciter of ayah 181. Listen once, then hum the rhythm together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does this group do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is the world never without good people?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 181. Allah always keeps a group of good people who guide with truth and act fairly. We can try to be among them.
Fact: Find Al-Imran 3:110: you are a fine community brought out for people.
Ages 5–8: Good guide. Name someone who guides you well.
Ages 9–12: Be one. Write how to be among those who guide with truth.
Finish with: "You are a community brought out for ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will guide someone kindly."
Action: Guide someone kindly.
