Asking Allah to Help Us
In the Name of Allah, the Most Loving, the Most Kind. Thank You, Allah, for taking care of everything. You are so Loving and so Kind. You are in charge of the Big Day. Only You do we pray to, and only You do we ask for help. Show us the right way to live — the way of the good people, not the way of those who got lost.
Grandpa gathered the children and said, "This was one of the very first Surahs Allah sent to our Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) in Mecca." Before this, people wanted to talk to Allah but didn't know the best words to say. So Allah gave us this Surah as a gift! It has thanks, love, and a prayer for help. That is why every time we stand up to pray, we say these special words to talk to Allah.
Sometimes school feels hard. Sometimes friends make you feel left out. Sometimes you feel worried or sad. This Surah tells you: "You are never alone. Allah is always with you and will always help you."
Ask Allah for help before you feel lost.
When you don't know what to do, do you remember to ask Allah for help?
Write a short prayer asking Allah for help with one thing that is hard for you right now.
