Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever seen a peacock show off its tail? Why does it do that?"

Watch the short video of a peacock opening its feathers.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How could a person think he was a god?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 24. The key words ana rabbukum al-a'la mean "I am your lord, the most high". It was the biggest lie of pride. Only Allah is al-A'la, the Most High (remember Surah Al-A'la?).

Fact: Why do peacocks spread their tails?

Ages 5–8: Pride or thanks? Draw a peacock. Write on its tail things that are gifts from Allah, not things to show off.

Ages 9–12: Name check. Find the name al-A'la in Surah Al-A'la. Who is the real Most High?

Finish with: "I found that peacocks spread their tails to ___."

Talk together:

• Why is pride so dangerous?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of? (Al-A'la!)
• What do we say in sujud that answers Pharaoh's claim?
• How can we stay humble when we're good at something?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say 'subhana rabbiyal a'la' slowly in every sujud."

• Say "subhana rabbiyal a'la" thoughtfully in sujud.
• Show someone your peacock drawing.
• Thank Allah when you do well, instead of boasting.
• Next time: the next ayah (79:25) says how Allah dealt with him. Explore it together!

Action: Say 'subhana rabbiyal a'la' slowly in every sujud.
