Start with bismillah.

Put your hand on your chest and sit very still. Can you feel your heart? Ask: "Your heart keeps beating all day and all night without you telling it to. What else do we keep in our 'heart': feelings, wishes, worries?"

Watch the video about how the heart pumps blood all around the body.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where does this ayah say the whispering goes?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do I keep my heart clean?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nas is surah 114. Find ayah 5. How is it connected to ayah 4 just before it?

Fact: How many times does a child's heart beat in one minute?

Ages 5–8: Heartbeat test. With a grown-up, find your pulse at your wrist or neck. Count the beats for 15 seconds while sitting still. Then do 20 jumps and count again. What changed?

Ages 9–12: Pulse experiment. Measure your pulse at rest, straight after one minute of exercise, and after two minutes of rest. Make a bar chart of the three numbers.

Finish with: "I found that my heart beats about ___ times a minute when I rest."

Talk together:

• Your heart works without ever stopping. Who made it that way?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What fills your heart with calm? What fills it with worry or bad ideas?
• How could we keep our hearts clean, the way we keep our bodies clean?
• Why do you think the heart matters so much?

Make a small plan: "Each evening this week, I will ___ to help my heart feel calm, at ___."

• Show your pulse chart to someone at home and explain what changed and why.
• Ask your family: "What makes your heart feel calm?" Write down their answers.
• Next time: the next ayah (114:6) is the very last ayah of the Quran. Explore it together!

Action: Practise your plan every evening.
