Start with bismillah.

Hold a rock in one hand and a ball of cotton wool or sheep's wool in the other. Ask: "Which is stronger? What would it take to make a rock as soft as wool?"

Watch the British Geological Survey video about how mountains are made over millions of years.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the mountains become?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If mountains can become like wool, what is truly strong?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qari'ah is surah 101. Find ayah 5. Which two things are compared in the translation?

Fact: How long does it take for a mountain like Everest to form?

Ages 5–8: Wool pull. Gently pull apart a cotton wool ball until it's light and fluffy. How big can you make it?

Ages 9–12: Find out what "carding" wool means. If you can, comb a little wool between two brushes and see how it changes.

Finish with: "I found that one cotton ball can stretch to ___ cm."

Talk together:

• Mountains seem so strong. Who is stronger?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does this ayah teach us about how great that Day is?
• What things in our lives seem strong but won't last forever?
• What questions would you take to an ustaz or ustazah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will rely on Allah, the truly Strong, when ___."

• Show someone at home the rock and the fluffy wool.
• Look at a picture of the Himalayas together and say "subhanAllah".
• Next time: the next ayah (101:6) is about heavy scales. Explore it together!

Action: Give your plan a go every day this week.
