Start with bismillah.

For younger children, keep this ayah's talk about choices; you don't need to describe the Fire.

An adult lights a candle. Ask: "Fire can cook our food and keep us warm, but it can also hurt. Why do we need to be careful with it?"

Watch the first few minutes of the Royal Institution's talk about how a candle burns.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why do you think Allah warned people about this before it happened?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Can someone who makes bad choices change?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Masad is surah 111. Find ayah 3. It is the middle ayah of the surah. How many ayat come before and after it?

Fact: What three things does every fire need to keep burning?

Ages 5–8: Watch an adult gently cover a small lit candle with a glass jar. What happens to the flame? Why do you think so?

Ages 9–12: Draw the fire triangle and label its three sides. Then find out how firefighters put out a fire by taking away one side of the triangle.

Finish with: "I found that a fire needs ___, ___ and ___."

Talk together:

• Why do you think Allah warns people before something happens?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do the choices we make today matter later?
• If someone makes a wrong choice, how can they change and come back?
• What question could you bring to your next Quran class?

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

• Teach a younger child one fire safety rule.
• Tell someone at home what happened to the candle under the jar, and why.
• Next time: the next ayah (111:4) is about what people carry. Explore it together!

Action: Stick with your plan for seven days.
