Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes the Quran so clear?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yusuf is surah 12. Find ayah 1. Surah Yusuf is one long, beautiful story told almost all in one surah. It begins with three letters whose full meaning Allah knows, then says this Book makes things clear.
Fact: Surah Yusuf has 111 ayat. Count how many other surahs begin with Alif Lam Ra (look at surahs 10–15).
Ages 5–8: Big story ahead. Look at how many pages Surah Yusuf fills in your mushaf.
