Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How many stars do you think there are?"

The Holy Quran Online has an English reading of An-Nur's meaning by Muhammad Awais Malik. Listen to the last minutes to hear how the surah ends.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will Allah tell us on the Day we return?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is the most amazing thing Allah owns?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nur is surah 24. Find ayah 64. The surah ends with a big view: the heavens, the earth, everything is Allah's. He knows what we're like inside. On the Day we return, He'll tell us what we did. The surah of light ends by reminding us to live in that light.

Fact: How many stars can you see on a clear night without a telescope? Find out.

Ages 5–8: Star count. Count stars on a clear night, or draw a starry sky.

Ages 9–12: Surah review. Write your three favourite lessons from An-Nur.

Finish with: "I found about ___ stars are visible."

Talk together:

• What did An-Nur teach you?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does knowing Allah sees us help?
• Which lesson will you keep?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep one lesson from An-Nur: ___ (which)."

• Show your star drawing.
• Share your favourite lessons.
• Next time: Surah Al-Mu'minun (23) comes just before An-Nur. Explore it together!

Action: Keep your lesson.
