Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What gifts come from the sea?"

For a few quiet minutes, listen to Adilla Kamiliah Putri reciting An-Nahl, shared by Mufid Media.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What three gifts does the sea give?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why should the sea make me thankful?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 14. The sea gives fish for food, pearls and coral for jewellery, and a path for ships to trade. All of this is Allah's bounty so we thank Him.

Fact: Pearls form inside oysters when they cover a tiny grain with layers of shiny material. A sign to ponder.

Ages 5–8: Sea gifts. Draw three gifts from the sea.

Ages 9–12: Ocean care. Write how we can protect the sea that gives us so much.

Finish with: "A pearl forms when ___."

Talk together:

• What does the sea give?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we protect it?
• Which sea gift do you love?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will avoid using one plastic item to help the sea."

• Thank Allah for the sea.
• Draw sea gifts.
• Tell someone one line from your ocean care writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (16:15) speaks of mountains, rivers and roads. Explore it together!

Action: Avoid using one plastic item to help the sea.
