Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Would you trust someone who leaves you when things get hard?"

Listen together as Mishary Alafasy recites ayat 46–52 of Al-Anfal, a short clip shared by MZG.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Shaytan do when the armies met?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why can we never trust Shaytan's promises?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anfal is surah 8. Find ayah 48. Shaytan encouraged the Makkan army, promising support. When the moment came, he abandoned them. Shaytan always makes wrong look good and then leaves people alone with the consequences.

Fact: In Ibrahim 14:22, Shaytan admits his promises were false.

Ages 5–8: False friend. Talk about why a friend who leaves you in trouble isn't a real friend.

Ages 9–12: Shaytan's trick. Write how Shaytan makes wrong look good.

Finish with: "Shaytan ran away when the armies ___."

Talk together:

• What did Shaytan promise?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What did he do?
• How can you avoid his tricks?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say a'udhu billah when tempted."

• Shaytan abandons.
• Seek refuge in Allah.
• Don't trust his promises.
• Next time: the next ayah (8:49) records what the hypocrites said. Explore it together!

Action: Say a'udhu billah when tempted.
