Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What good things happen when people gather for a good reason?"

Play the short clip from MUROTTAL QUR'AN Media: Abdullah Al-Juhany reciting ayat 26–37.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who should be fed?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is feeding the poor part of Hajj?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hajj is surah 22. Find ayah 28. Hajj brings benefits: meeting Muslims, worship and learning. On the days of sacrifice, people remember Allah, eat and share meat with those in need. Ask your teacher about how udhiyah works.

Fact: What is the festival at the time of Hajj called? (Eid al-Adha.).

Ages 5–8: Share plate. Prepare a plate to share with a neighbour.

Ages 9–12: Benefits list. List benefits of Hajj for a person and for the ummah.

Finish with: "I found it is called ___."

Talk together:

• How does sharing food feel?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why remember Allah over food?
• Who could you share with?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will share food with ___."

• Show your share plate.
• Share your list.
• Next time: the next ayah (22:29) describes finishing the rites. Explore it together!

Action: Share food.
