Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What would be the saddest thing to lose?"

Five years later Alafasy recorded the surah again; sample a short part of that 2005 version.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will be the biggest losers?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make sure I do not lose what matters most?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naml is surah 27. Find ayah 5. The key word al-akhsarun means the greatest losers. Losing a game or a toy is small. Losing the Hereafter is the biggest loss of all. Allah warns us now, out of mercy, so we can choose well.

Fact: Which surah's ayah 15 says the real losers are those who lose themselves and their families?

Ages 5–8: Big and small. Sort pictures into small losses and things that really matter.

Ages 9–12: True loss. Write why losing the Hereafter is greater than any worldly loss.

Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___."

Talk together:

• What is a real loss?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does Allah warn us early?
• What will you protect most?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one deed that protects my Hereafter."

• Protect your Hereafter.
• Sort big and small.
• Share true loss.
• Next time: the next ayah (27:6) says the Quran comes from the All-Wise, All-Knowing. Explore it together!

Action: Do one deed that protects your Hereafter.
