Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why does the sun have its own light but the moon does not?"

A short clip from Why am I a Muslim? looks at why the sun is called a lamp and the moon a light.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is called a lamp?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is the difference between a lamp and a reflected light?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Furqan is surah 25. Find ayah 61. The key words siraj and qamaran munira mean a lamp and a moon that gives light. The sun burns and shines like a lamp; the moon reflects the sun's light. A sign to ponder in the sky.

Fact: About how many times wider than the Moon is the Sun?

Ages 5–8: Torch and mirror. Shine a torch on a mirror to show how the moon reflects light.

Ages 9–12: Lamp and moon. Write the difference between a light source and a reflector.

Finish with: "I found the Sun is about ___ times wider."

Talk together:

• Why call the sun a lamp?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does the moon give light?
• Which sky sign amazes you most?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will look at the moon one night and say tabarakallah."

• Look up and reflect.
• Try torch and mirror.
• Share lamp and moon.
• Next time: the next ayah (25:62) says He made night and day follow each other for those who want to remember. Explore it together!

Action: Look at the moon one night and say tabarakallah.
