Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can easy times make people forget Allah?"

Bandar Baleela - القارئ بندر بليلة has the whole of Al-A'raf by Bandar Baleela. Play just the first stretch.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did they say about hard and easy times?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why didn't they learn from either?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 95. When good times came, they said it was just luck, like their fathers had. They didn't thank Allah or learn. Both hard and easy times are tests.

Fact: Find Al-Anbiya 21:35: We test you with bad and good.

Ages 5–8: Good times thanks. Thank Allah for a good thing today.

Ages 9–12: Both tests. Write how ease and hardship are both tests.

Finish with: "We test you with bad and ___."

Talk together:

• What did they say?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why didn't they learn?
• How can you thank Allah in good times?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah in good times."

• Ease is a test too.
• Thank Allah.
• Don't forget Him.
• Next time: the next ayah (7:96) describes blessings for the mindful. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah in good times.
