Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can a name with nothing behind it help anyone?"

Hear the opening minutes of Al-A'raf in Saad Al-Ghamdi's voice, from LIVEQURAN.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What had they and their fathers made up?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why are idols 'just names'?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 71. Idols are just names people invented; they have no power. Hud warned 'Ad, mentioned here calmly, and waited for Allah's decision.

Fact: Find An-Najm 53:23: they are only names you have named.

Ages 5–8: Real or empty. Talk about why idols have no power.

Ages 9–12: Empty names. Write what 'names with no proof' means.

Finish with: "They are only ___ you have named."

Talk together:

• What did Hud warn?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why are idols empty names?
• Who has real power?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember only Allah has power."

• Idols are empty names.
• Only Allah has power.
• Wait with patience.
• Next time: the next ayah (7:72) tells how Hud was saved. Explore it together!

Action: Remember only Allah has power.
