4-I guide
Allah told Musa (peace be upon him): go to Pharaoh, for he has gone far beyond all limits.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Would it take courage to tell a powerful king that he's doing wrong?"
Watch the KidsMathTV video about the Nile River.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where did Allah send Musa, and why?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Was Musa scared?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 17. The key word tagha means he went beyond all limits. Pharaoh ruled Egypt by the River Nile, and he was proud and cruel.
Fact: How long is the River Nile, and why was it so important to Egypt?
Ages 5–8: River drawing. Draw the Nile flowing through the desert, with green land on both sides.
Ages 9–12: Nile facts. Find out what the yearly Nile flood did for Egyptian farmers.
Finish with: "I found that the Nile is about ___ kilometres long."
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.
