BACKGROUND STORY

BACKGROUND STORY

  • •

    The idol-worshippers wanted to make a deal with the Prophet ﷺ.

    They told him that if he worshipped their gods for a year, they would worship Allah for a year.

    This surah was revealed, telling them that the Prophet had nothing to do with their idol-worship.

    (Recorded by Imam At-Tabarani)

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD

1Say, 'O Prophet, O you disbelievers!

'

2I do not worship what you worship,

3And you do not worship what I worship.

4I will never worship how you worship,

5And you will never worship how I worship.

6You have your way, and I have my way.

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ1

لَآ أَعۡبُدُ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ2

وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ3

وَلَآ أَنَا۠ عَابِدٞ مَّا عَبَدتُّمۡ4

وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ5

لَكُمۡ دِينُكُمۡ وَلِيَ دِينِ6

How to study Surah Al-Kāfirūn with children

Use this children's lesson as a guided path: read the short explanation, look at the Arabic verse, listen to related recitation, and return to the full surah when your child is ready for more detail.

Parents can review one section at a time, ask the child to repeat the main idea, and then continue with the next part or a nearby surah. This keeps the lesson connected with Quran reading, audio, and daily practice.
