4-I guide
Has the story of Musa (peace be upon him) reached you?
Start with bismillah.
Look at a star. Ask: "Did you know the light you see left that star long, long ago?"
Watch the TED-Ed video about light-years and huge distances.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which story is Allah asking about?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What do I know about Prophet Musa?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 15. The key words hadithu Musa mean the story of Musa (peace be upon him). His story is told more than any other in the Quran, so we can learn from it.
Fact: What is a light-year?
Ages 5–8: Story time. Ask a parent to tell you one part of Prophet Musa's story from the Quran.
Ages 9–12: Musa in the Quran. Find three surahs that tell parts of Musa's story.
Finish with: "I found that a light-year is ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn one part of Prophet Musa's story from the Quran."
Action: Learn one part of Prophet Musa's story from the Quran.
