ٱلْأَشْبَالُ ٱحْتَاجَتْ وَجَاعَتْ، وَأَمَّا طَالِبُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ.

Explained for Children

Imagine you're playing hide and seek, and you're very hungry. The lions in the forest sometimes get so hungry they can't find food. But if you ask God to help you find food, He will make sure you don't go hungry. Just like in hide and seek, if you trust God, He will take care of you.

Historical Background
