Start with bismillah.

With younger children, you can simply say: "Allah warns us so we choose good." No need for detail.

Ask: "Have you ever looked down into a deep well or a hole? How did it feel?"

Watch the short National Geographic video of a giant sinkhole that opened in New Zealand.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does this ayah warn about?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do I stay safe from that?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qari'ah is surah 101. Find ayah 9. How does it finish the sentence from ayah 8?

Fact: How do sinkholes form under the ground?

Ages 5–8: Sand sinkhole. Put a paper cup with a hole in it under some sand in a tray. Slowly pull the cup out from below. What happens to the sand?

Ages 9–12: Find out how rainwater dissolves limestone underground. Put a sugar cube under a spoonful of sand and drip water on it. What happens?

Finish with: "I found that the sand ___ when the hole opened."

Talk together:

• Why do you think Allah warns us about the end of bad choices?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What choices help us stay on the right path?
• If we make a mistake, how can we come back to Allah?
• Is there a question you'd like to take to an ustaz or ustazah?

Make a small plan: "This week, before a hard choice at ___, I will ask myself: ___."

• Show someone at home your sand sinkhole.
• Make a family "good choices" list and stick it on the fridge.
• Next time: the next ayah (101:10) asks one more question. Explore it together.

Action: Try your plan out each day this week.
