Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do some people sneak away from good things?"

Listen together as Mishary Alafasy recites ayat 123–129 of At-Tawbah, a short clip shared by Daily listen Quran.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did they ask each other?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did their hearts turn away?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tawbah is surah 9. Find ayah 127. Some hypocrites sneaked out of the Prophet's gatherings when the Qur'an was recited. They chose not to understand, so their hearts turned away. We stay and listen.

Fact: An-Nur 24:63 is about those who slip away.

Ages 5–8: Stay and listen. Sit through a whole short talk or recitation.

Ages 9–12: Stay. Write why staying to listen to good is important.

Finish with: "They asked: does ___ see you?"

Talk together:

• What did they do?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why did their hearts turn?
• How can you stay and listen?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will stay and listen to the Qur'an attentively."

• Stay and listen.
• Don't slip away.
• Choose to understand.
• Next time: the next ayah (9:128) describes the Prophet's care for us. Explore it together!

Action: Stay and listen to the Qur'an attentively.
