Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who knew about you before you were born?"

For a few quiet minutes, listen to Muhammad Siddiq Al-Minshawi reciting Ar-Ra'd, shared by Al-Minshawi (Topic).

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah know about every mother?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah know every baby so well?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Ra'd is surah 13. Find ayah 8. Before you were born, Allah already knew you completely. He knows every baby, every animal before it hatches, and everything else, each in its exact measure. Parents can share more about babies when they think it is right.

Fact: A hen's egg takes about 21 days to hatch. Find out how long a duck egg takes.

Ages 5–8: Before I was born. Ask your parents one thing they prepared before you were born.

Ages 9–12: Exact measure. Write about something in nature that has just the right amount, like the air we breathe.

Finish with: "A duck egg takes about ___ days to hatch."

Talk together:

• What did Allah know about you before you were born?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What has an exact measure in nature?
• How does it feel to be known by Allah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for creating me."

• Allah knows you.
• Ask your parents.
• Share your measure writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (13:9) tells us Allah knows the unseen and the seen. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah for creating you.
