Start with bismillah.

Ask: "If you were lost in a forest, what would you want most?"

Watch the BBSRC video about the honeyguide, a bird that calls and leads honey hunters to wild bees' nests. (People appear in it.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who takes on the job of guiding?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who taught the honeyguide bird to guide?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Layl is surah 92. Find ayah 12. The key word al-huda means guidance. Allah tells us He has taken it upon Himself.

Fact: How does the honeyguide tell people to follow it?

Ages 5–8: Follow the call. One person hides and makes a special sound. Everyone else follows the sound to find them.

Ages 9–12: Guide map. Draw a map of your home with arrows guiding a visitor to the kitchen, the prayer space and the door. Test it with someone.

Finish with: "I found that the honeyguide leads by ___."

Talk together:

• Allah gave the honeyguide a way to guide. How does Allah guide us?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who helps guide you at home and school?
• How can you be a good guide for a younger child?
• What do you want to ask Allah to guide you in?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for guidance about ___."

• Help a younger child learn something new, step by step.
• Show someone your guide map.
• Next time: the next ayah (92:13) is about the end and the beginning. Explore it together!

Action: Make your guidance dua every day.
