Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can someone be lost but think they're on the right path?"

Play the clip from SoulFul Qur'an covering ayat 26 to 31 and follow the words with your finger if you can.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who did the misguided take as allies?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do some people think they are guided when they aren't?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 30. Some people follow bad influences and still feel sure they are right. That's why we keep checking our path against the Qur'an and asking Allah for guidance.

Fact: Al-Kahf 18:103–104 is about people who think they are doing well but are lost.

Ages 5–8: Check the map. Use a map to check you're going the right way.

Ages 9–12: Self-check. Write how to check you're on the right path.

Finish with: "They think they are ___."

Talk together:

• Which two groups are there?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why do some think they're guided?
• How can you check your path?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will check my actions against the Qur'an."

• Check your path.
• Avoid bad allies.
• Ask for guidance.
• Next time: the next ayah (7:31) speaks of dressing well for prayer. Explore it together!

Action: Check your actions against the Qur'an.
