Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Where do you go when you need space?"

Play the short clip from Darul Qur'an of Nasser Al-Qatami reciting ayat 16–40 of Maryam.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where did Maryam go?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Maryam go far away?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 22. Maryam went to a distant place, trusting Allah. She was alone, but Allah was with her and would take care of her.

Fact: How long does a baby grow before birth?

Ask a parent.

Ages 5–8: Trusting Allah. Talk about times you were alone but knew Allah was with you.

Ages 9–12: Never alone. Write how Allah was with Maryam.

Finish with: "I learned it is about ___ months."

Talk together:

• Was Maryam alone?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When do you feel alone?
• How is Allah with you?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say 'Allah is with me' when I feel alone."

• Remember Allah is with you.
• Talk together.
• Share your writing.
• Next time: the next ayah (19:23) tells of the palm tree. Explore it together!

Action: Say 'Allah is with you' when you feel alone.
