For parents

The explanation follows Tafsir As-Sa‘di closely, simplified for ages 5–8. Some technical points are left for older children: for Ayah 7, the video gives As-Sa‘di's descriptions of the two wrong paths without his named examples. The questions and answers were written for this lesson.

The narrator's voice is generated with ElevenLabs text-to-speech. Arabic words are written in Arabic script for the voice, but please listen with your children and correct any word that sounds wrong.
