Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How would you feel if you could never sleep in the dark?"

Haramain Translations has Saud Ash-Shuraim with English; play a few minutes.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does night give us?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do our bodies need darkness?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qasas is surah 28. Find ayah 72. The key word taskunun means you rest, become still. Our bodies need darkness to sleep well. A sign to ponder: endless daylight would leave us exhausted. Allah's balance of day and night keeps us healthy.

Fact: In which countries can people see the midnight sun in summer?

Ages 5–8: Rest time. Make a cosy bedtime routine chart.

Ages 9–12: Day and night balance. Write what happens to the body without enough sleep.

Finish with: "I found the midnight sun can be seen in ___."

Talk together:

• Why do we need night?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does sleep help us?
• What does Allah's balance teach us?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will go to bed on time and say my bedtime dua."

• Sleep on time.
• Make a rest-time chart.
• Share day and night balance.
• Next time: the next ayah (28:73) says night and day are a mercy. Explore it together!

Action: Go to bed on time and say your bedtime dua.
