Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do good friendships stay strong?"

Play the short clip from Holy Qur'an of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 1–10 of At-Tawbah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "As long as they are true, what should Muslims be?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does faithfulness go both ways?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tawbah is surah 9. Find ayah 7. Agreements work when both sides keep them. Muslims were told to stay loyal as long as the other side did. Being trustworthy is a sign of taqwa.

Fact: Find Al-Ma'idah 5:1: fulfil your contracts.

Ages 5–8: Both sides. Play a game of catch: it only works if both people try.

Ages 9–12: Faithful. Write what makes someone trustworthy.

Finish with: "Al-Ma'idah 5:1 says fulfil your ___."

Talk together:

• When should Muslims stay true?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does faithfulness go both ways?
• How can you be trustworthy?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be someone others can trust."

• Stay true.
• Play catch.
• Be trustworthy.
• Next time: the next ayah (9:8) describes people whose words did not match their hearts. Explore it together!

Action: Be someone others can trust.
