• The ṣalāh of our beloved Prophet ﷺ: The lesson draws on accounts from ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها and the Hadith of Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه to describe how the Prophet ﷺ prayed his weeping, his prolonged standing after rukūʿ, his lowered head, and the account of ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib رضي الله عنه of finding him praying and crying under a tree until the morning of Badr.
• Why we lack khushūʿ: Four causes are examined: weak īmān, love of the dunyā and materialism, sins, and hedonism and apathy. Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله is quoted: if you find no sweetness or joy in a deed, doubt its sincerity, for Allah is ash-Shakūr.
• Adhkār within ṣalāh: Two adhkār are introduced with their sources the istiftāḥ from Muslim, with the account of twelve angels competing to carry it up, and the duʿa between the two sajdahs from Abū Dāwūd asking Allah for forgiveness, mercy, wellbeing, guidance, and sustenance.
• Ṣalāh and mental health: Qur’an 2:45–46 is quoted on seeking help through patience and ṣalāh, and the prophetic phrase “grant us rest through ṣalāh” is introduced. The lesson asks learners to write the verse and reflect on what it means for their own relationship with ṣalāh.
• Describing the Prophet’s ﷺ ṣalāh: As a closing reflection, learners are asked to imagine they witnessed the Prophet ﷺ pray as a child and are now describing that ṣalāh to their grandchildren drawing together everything covered in the lesson into a single, personal response.

In these beautiful final verses of Surah an-Nas, children will explore the profound concept of seeking refuge in Allah from al-khannas, the sneaky whisperer who hides and returns repeatedly to lead us astray. Through carefully structured activities and clear explanations, learners will understand that Shaytan whispers into our hearts, often without us realising his evil influence behind negative thoughts and harmful impulses.

This lesson brilliantly explains how Shaytan operates as our invisible enemy who can see us whilst remaining hidden from our sight. Children will learn to identify the whispers that encourage anger, dishonesty, unkindness, and disobedience to Allah. The lesson Surah an-Nas: Ayahs 4-6 emphasises that only Allah can truly protect us from this persistent threat, making the daily recitation of these three special Surahs essential for spiritual defence.

Beyond understanding jinn Shaytans, this lesson introduces the crucial concept of human Shaytans people who encourage others towards evil actions and thoughts. Children will develop critical thinking skills to identify negative influences amongst peers and understand the importance of choosing righteous companions. The lesson provides practical guidance on recognising the characteristics of human Shaytans and the wisdom behind our beloved Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ emphasis on good companionship.
