يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ حَسْبُكَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O Prophet! sufficient unto thee is Allah,- (unto thee) and unto those who follow thee among the Believers.

4-I guide
O Prophet, Allah is enough for you and for the believers who follow you.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does it mean to have 'enough'?"
A short clip on Ayesha Tariq recites ayat 61–70 of Al-Anfal. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is Allah enough for?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah keep reminding us He is enough?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anfal is surah 8. Find ayah 64. A short, powerful ayah: Allah is sufficient for the Prophet and every believer who follows him. Whatever we lack, Allah is enough.
Fact: Find At-Talaq 65:3: whoever relies on Allah, He is sufficient for them.
Ages 5–8: Enough. Say 'Allah is enough for me' three times.
Ages 9–12: Sufficiency. Write what makes Allah enough for you.
Finish with: "Allah is ___ for the believers."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say 'Allah is enough for me' each morning."
Action: Say 'Allah is enough for you' each morning.
