Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can anyone know for sure who will win a match years from now?"

Watch the Hamza Yazgan video Unbelievable Prediction About the Roman Persian War.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will happen after the defeat?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How could the Quran know the future?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rum is surah 30. Find ayah 3. The key words adna al-ard mean the nearest land, and scholars note it can also mean the lowest land. A sign to ponder: the area around the Dead Sea, close to where the battle took place, is the lowest land on Earth. The Quran said the beaten Romans would win again, which seemed impossible at the time.

Fact: How far below sea level is the shore of the Dead Sea?

Ages 5–8: High and low. Use blocks to build a hill and a valley and find the lowest point.

Ages 9–12: Prediction test. Write down a prediction about something next month and check later if it came true.

Finish with: "I found that it is about ___ metres below sea level."

Talk together:

• Why did this prediction seem impossible?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does this show the Quran is from Allah?
• How does it feel when something comes true?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will share this Quranic prediction with someone."

• Share the prediction.
• Build high and low.
• Share your prediction test.
• Next time: the next ayah (30:4) says it will happen within a few years. Explore it together!

Action: Share this Quranic prediction with someone.
