Start with bismillah.

Look at your hands. Ask: "What good things can our hands do? Can hands ever do harmful things?" Make two lists together.

Watch the video of beavers using their teeth and paws to build dams and homes for their families.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do you notice in this ayah?" If children ask who Abu Lahab was, write the question down for a teacher or an ustaz/ustazah.

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why would someone use their power against the truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Masad is surah 111. Find ayah 1. The surah's name comes from a word in its last ayah. Can you find which one?

Fact: How many bones are there in one human hand?

Ages 5–8: Helping hands. Trace around your hand. On each finger, draw or write one good thing your hands can do.

Ages 9–12: Look closely at the hand X-ray picture. Count the bones you can see in the fingers, the palm and the wrist. Then compare with the real number you found.

Finish with: "I found that one hand has ___ bones."

Talk together:

• Who gave us hands that can do so many things?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What makes someone choose to use their hands to harm?
• How can we use our hands to help people and stand up for what is true?
• If you could ask an ustaz or ustazah one question about this, what would it be?

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

• Put your plan into action, then tell someone how it went.
• Make a family "helping hands" chart and add a hand print for every good deed.
• Show someone at home the hand X-ray and tell them how many bones you counted.
• Next time: the next ayah (111:2) is about wealth. Explore it together!

Action: Use your hands to help someone at home today.
