Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What is the most amazing journey you have ever heard of?"

Abdul Rahman Al-Ossi recites the first three ayat of Al-Isra in a short clip. Play it and listen for the word that begins the surah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two masjids are named in this ayah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did the journey happen at night?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Isra is surah 17. Find ayah 1. This surah is named Al-Isra, the Night Journey. Allah took the Prophet from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa in one night to show him great signs. Ask your ustaz or ustazah to learn more.

Fact: Find al-Masjid al-Haram (Makkah) and al-Masjid al-Aqsa (Jerusalem) on a map. How far apart are they?

Ages 5–8: Night sky. Draw a starry night sky with two masjids, one at each side.

Ages 9–12: Journey map. Mark both cities on a map and work out the distance.

Finish with: "I found they are about ___ km apart."

Talk together:

• Why is this journey amazing?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What signs of Allah do you see at night?
• What do you know about al-Aqsa?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will look at the night sky and say subhanallah."

• Say subhanallah at night.
• Show your drawing.
• Share your map.
• Next time: the next ayah (17:2) speaks of Musa's Book. Explore it together!

Action: Look at the night sky and say subhanallah.
