Opening the ayah…
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa lūṭan 'idh' qāla liqaw'mihī 'ata''tūna l-fāḥishata mā sabaqakum bihā min' 'aḥadin mmina l-ʻālamīna
We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Lut said to his people, 'Do you do shameful deeds that no one in the world did before you?'
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is it brave to speak up when everyone is doing wrong?"
This NgajiBareng04 video reads ayat 73 to 84 slowly and clearly. Try to hear where the story moves from Salih to Lut.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Lut ask his people?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Lut speak up?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 80. Lut's people were doing shameful deeds. He bravely told them to stop. Prophets speak up for what is right, even when it's hard.
Fact: Lut was the nephew of Prophet Ibrahim.
Ages 5–8: Speak up kindly. Practise saying 'please stop, that's wrong' kindly.
Ages 9–12: Courage. Write why speaking up for right takes courage.
Finish with: "Lut was Ibrahim's ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will speak up kindly when something is wrong."
Action: Speak up kindly when something is wrong.
