Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Where would you make an important announcement so everyone hears it?"

MZG has a short At-Tawbah clip of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 1–6. Play it all.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "On which day was the announcement made?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why was the door of tawbah still open?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tawbah is surah 9. Find ayah 3. The announcement was made at Hajj, when people from all over Arabia gathered. Even in this serious message, Allah said: if you turn back to Him, it is better for you. This mentions punishment in one line, but the invitation to tawbah comes first.

Fact: Which year of the Hijrah this announcement was made. Hint? The year before the Prophet's farewell Hajj.

Ages 5–8: Big announcement. Practise announcing good news so everyone can hear.

Ages 9–12: Door open. Write how this ayah still invites people to Allah.

Finish with: "The announcement was made at ___."

Talk together:

• Where was it announced?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What was still offered?
• How do you feel knowing tawbah is always open?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say astaghfirullah three times each day."

• Turning back is better.
• Make an announcement.
• The door is open.
• Next time: the next ayah (9:4) tells Muslims to keep their promises to those who kept theirs. Explore it together!

Action: Say astaghfirullah three times each day.
