Opening the ayah…
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ
Huwa -lladhī 'ar'sala rassūlahu bil-hudā wadīni l-ḥaqqi liyuẓ'hirahu ʻalā ddīni kullihī walaw' kariha l-mush'rikūna
It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion to make it rise above every other way, even if the idol worshippers dislike it.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you need on a long journey?"
Play the short clip of Amna Muneeb reciting ayat 31–40 of At-Tawbah, from his own channel.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things did the Messenger bring?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Allah send the Prophet with guidance?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tawbah is surah 9. Find ayah 33. The Prophet brought guidance and the true religion for all people. Its message of one God, justice and mercy has reached every corner of the earth.
Fact: Find the same ayah in Al-Fath 48:28 and As-Saff 61:9.
Ages 5–8: Guide map. Draw a map with a path leading to a star.
Ages 9–12: Three ayat. Find the three places this message appears and compare.
Finish with: "The same message appears in Al-Fath and ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will follow one sunnah I don't usually do."
Action: Follow one sunnah you don't usually do.
