Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Musa (peace be upon him) was also to offer to show Pharaoh the way to his Lord, so that he would feel awe of Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do birds find their way across the world without a map?"
Watch the BrainStuff video "How Do Birds Know Where To Go When They Migrate?".
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Musa offer Pharaoh?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who guides me to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 19. The key word ahdiyaka means "I will guide you": Musa offered to show Pharaoh the way to Allah. Musa offered Pharaoh the greatest gift there is: guidance.
Fact: How do birds use the stars and the Earth's magnetism to migrate?
Ages 5–8: Bird journey. Draw a bird flying at night with stars to guide it.
Ages 9–12: Navigation. Find three ways birds find their way (sun, stars, magnetism, landmarks).
Finish with: "I found that birds find their way using ___."

Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank someone who teaches me about Allah."
Action: Thank someone who teaches you about Allah.
