Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do pilgrims walk between two hills?"

Play the short Al-Baqarah clip of ayah 158 from Ummah Muslim.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Whose story is behind Safa and Marwah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 158. Hajar ran between Safa and Marwah searching for water for baby Isma'il. Allah sent Zamzam. Pilgrims repeat her steps to honour her trust.

Fact: Pilgrims walk between Safa and Marwah seven times, following Hajar's steps.

Ages 5–8: Hajar's run. Walk between two points seven times.

Ages 9–12: Hajar's trust. Write what Hajar teaches about trust.

Finish with: "Pilgrims walk between them ___ times."

Talk together:

• Which hills?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Whose story?
• What does Hajar teach?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell the story of Hajar and Zamzam."

• Hajar trusted.
• Allah provided.
• Follow her steps.
• Next time: the next ayah (2:159) warns against hiding guidance. Explore it together!

Action: Tell the story of Hajar and Zamzam.
