Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can anyone stop time?"

Hear the opening minutes of Yunus in Idrees Abkar's voice, from Mendi.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What can't be delayed or rushed?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does even the Prophet depend on Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 49. The Prophet was humble: he said he could not control harm or benefit, even for himself. Allah has set a time for every people and every person, not a moment early or late.

Fact: How a sundial shows the time using the sun's shadow.

Ages 5–8: Shadow clock. Put a stick in the ground and mark its shadow every hour.

Ages 9–12: Humble words. Write why the Prophet said he had no power except by Allah's will.

Finish with: "A sundial uses the ___ of a stick to tell time."

Talk together:

• Who controls harm and benefit?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Can anyone change their set time?
• How does this make you rely on Allah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say in sha Allah and rely on Him."

• Every nation has a time.
• Make a shadow clock.
• Rely on Allah.
• Next time: the next ayah (10:50) asks what part of punishment people want to hurry. Explore it together!

Action: Say in sha Allah and rely on Him.
