Listen and understand

Study meaning: Did He not cause their scheme to fail?

The scheme was made to fail. Kaydahum means their plan or plotting. Learn the link between the two opening questions: alam tara, then alam yaj‘al. The emphasis is Allah’s power over the attack, not the number or equipment of the army.

Build the ayah

1. Listen to the whole ayah.
2. Repeat a short phrase after the reciter.
3. Join the phrases without rushing.
4. Cover the text and try the complete ayah.
5. Compare with the recitation and correct one point at a time.

Return to ayahs 1-1, then add this ayah. If a phrase is difficult, practise less material and return later. A parent can listen and encourage without asking the learner to compete.
