Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who comes first: Allah or anyone else?"

Play the short clip from Daily listen Quran of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 21–26 of At-Tawbah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who should not be taken as allies?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Can we still be kind to family who are not Muslim?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tawbah is surah 9. Find ayah 23. Loving Allah comes first. If relatives fight against Islam, believers should not side with them against the faith. But Islam still tells us to be kind and respectful to non-Muslim parents, as in Luqman 31:15.

Fact: Find Luqman 31:15: treat parents kindly in this world.

Ages 5–8: Kind to all. Do something kind for a relative.

Ages 9–12: Balance. Write how to love Allah first and still be kind to family.

Finish with: "Luqman 31:15 says keep company with parents in ___."

Talk together:

• Who comes first?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Can we be kind to non-Muslim family?
• How can you show kindness to relatives?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be extra kind to my parents."

• Allah comes first.
• Be kind to family.
• Read Luqman 31:15.
• Next time: the next ayah (9:24) lists things people might love more than Allah. Explore it together!

Action: Be extra kind to your parents.
