Abu Jahl, a powerful and cruel leader of Makkah, was hurting our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ again. When Hamzah رضي الله عنه the Prophet’s strong and fearless uncle heard about it, he did not stay quiet. He marched over, struck Abu Jahl, and declared in front of everyone: “I believe in One Allah and that Muhammad is His true Prophet.”

Around that same time, our beloved Prophet ﷺ made a special duʿa: “O Allah, bring strength to Islam through the one You love more: Abu Jahl or ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab.” ʿUmar was fierce. People feared him. He hated Islam. But whenever he heard the Qur’an, something happened inside him. Its words reached a part of him he could not explain. One day, Allah filled his heart with the light of Islam, and he went straight to the Prophet ﷺ: “I’ve come to accept Islam.” He did not whisper it. He announced it to everyone, loudly and proudly: “I follow Muhammad ﷺ!”

With Hamzah and ʿUmar رضي الله عنه beside them, the Muslims felt stronger and safer than they ever had before. The lesson closes with a question worth sitting with: how can we be strong Muslims and show our Islam proudly like them?

As a boy, Muhammad ﷺ took care of people’s sheep and goats. He led them across rocky hills, kept them safe, and made sure they all had enough to eat and drink. When he was twelve, he travelled with his uncle Abu Talib all the way to Syria to sell goods. The journey was long and tiring. He worked hard and helped his uncle the whole way. The people of Makkah watched him grow up and they gave him two names: as-Sadiq, the Truthful, and al-Amin, the Trustworthy. Not titles that were handed to him. Names that were earned.

When a kind and wealthy woman named Khadijah needed someone reliable to sell her goods, she hired him. Muhammad ﷺ worked hard, treated every customer with honesty and kindness, and her business flourished more than it ever had before. Khadijah was so moved by his character that she sent a friend to ask if he would marry her. He agreed. They built a home together, had two sons Abdullah and Qasim who passed away as babies, and four daughters Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatimah who grew up to be kind, wise, and strong.

The lesson everybody trusts Muhammad ﷺ closes with a question worth sitting with: what can we do to be truthful and trustworthy like Muhammad ﷺ?

This fundamental lesson introduces learners to the concept of the spiritual heart (qalb), the invisible heart that Allah has given to every human being. Children will discover that whilst we all have a physical heart that pumps blood around our body, the spiritual heart is what truly makes us who we are. The lesson beautifully explains how the spiritual heart allows us to know and love Allah, controls our behaviour, and is the key to entering Jannah. Through practical examples and interactive activities, learners will understand how bad actions create ‘dots’ like rust on the heart, and how we can polish our hearts through good deeds, seeking Allah’s help, and following the pure example of our beloved Prophet ﷺ.

The lesson features the inspiring story of Khabbab رضي الله عنه, the skilled swordsmith who endured severe persecution for accepting Islam, yet remained steadfast in his faith.

The lesson opens with an interactive thinking starter that helps children understand the concept of hearing by imagining a classroom with 10 people speaking simultaneously. Through this relatable scenario, learners discover that while we can only hear limited conversations, Allah can hear everything, everywhere, all at once. The lesson then explores how Allah hears our inner thoughts, our duʿas, and responds to our needs, no matter what language we speak.

Children will be captivated by the story of Qasim, who receives a challenge from his father to eat sweets in a place where no one can see him. Through this engaging narrative, learners discover that Allah as al-Basir can see everything, even when we think we are alone. This powerful story teaches children about Allah’s constant presence and how this awareness should guide our actions and behaviour.

The lesson includes carefully crafted activities that help children explore what Allah wants to hear from us and what He doesn’t, encouraging them to reflect on their speech and inner thoughts. Through situational scenarios, learners practice how they would respond when remembering Allah is as-Sami and al-Basir versus when they forget this important teaching.
