Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What happens to green grass in a hot summer?"

Mishary Alafasy recites Al-Kahf on القران الكريم. A few minutes is plenty.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happens to the plants in the end?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How is my life like a plant?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Kahf is surah 18. Find ayah 45. A sign to ponder: rain makes plants lush and green, then they dry and blow away. Life passes quickly too. Use it well while it's green.

Fact: How long does a grass plant live? Find out.

Ages 5–8: Plant life cycle. Draw the stages from seed to dry stalk.

Ages 9–12: Short life. Write how to use life well while it lasts.

Finish with: "I found it lives about ___."

Talk together:

• How is life like a plant?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What do you do while green?
• Who has power over all?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will use my time for something good."

• Use time well.
• Draw the life cycle.
• Share your writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (18:46) speaks of wealth and children. Explore it together!

Action: Use your time for something good.
