Start with bismillah.

Rub your hands together fast for ten seconds. Ask: "What do you feel? Where does the warmth come from?"

Watch the National Geographic video about lightning, the biggest spark in nature.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What makes the sparks in this ayah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can hooves make sparks?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-'Adiyat is surah 100. Find ayah 2. Which word in the translation tells you there was fire?

Fact: How does lightning make such a huge spark?

Ages 5–8: Static spark. Rub a balloon on your hair or a wool jumper, then hold it near small bits of paper. What happens? (In a dark room you might even see a tiny spark!)

Ages 9–12: Count the seconds between a lightning flash and its thunder during a storm (from indoors). Divide by three to estimate how many kilometres away it was.

Finish with: "I found that rubbing made ___."

Talk together:

• Who made the power in lightning and in a running horse?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What "sparks" of energy do you feel when you're excited to do something good?
• How can we use our energy in good ways?
• What questions do you have about these ayat?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will use my energy to help ___ at ___."

• Show someone at home the balloon trick.
• Teach a younger child the storm safety rule: stay indoors during lightning.
• Next time: the next ayah (100:3) is about the early morning. Explore it together!

Action: Keep to your plan all week, and tick it off each day.
