Ask: "Why do lions roar so loudly?"

Watch the Smithsonian Channel video "Why Do Lions Roar?".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Pharaoh do with his people?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What did Pharaoh announce?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 23. The key words fa-hashara fa-nada mean he gathered and proclaimed. Pharaoh used his power and his voice to lead people the wrong way.

Ages 5–8: Voice for good. Practise saying "salam" loudly and clearly to greet people.

Talk together:

• Pharaoh used his voice to mislead. How can we use our voices for good?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will use my voice to say only good things."

• Use your voice for good: greet, thank, encourage.
• Practise a loud, clear salam.
• Tell someone why lions roar.
• Next time: the next ayah (79:24) says what Pharaoh claimed. Explore it together!

Action: Use your voice to say only good things.
