Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do even very small children ask who made the world?"

Watch the video The Natural Disposition of a Child: Fitra.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "On what did Allah create people?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does the fitrah feel like inside me?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rum is surah 30. Find ayah 30. The key word fitrah means the natural way or design Allah placed in every person. Deep inside, people know there is a Creator and feel drawn to good. Islam matches this inner design, so it is called ad-din al-qayyim, the upright religion.

Fact: Which word, from the same root as fitrah, is used in Surah Fatir for Allah as the Originator of the heavens and earth?

Ages 5–8: Inner compass. Draw a compass inside a heart pointing to Allah.

Ages 9–12: Natural signs. Write three ways people everywhere show they know there is a Creator.

Finish with: "I found that the word is ___."

Talk together:

• What does it mean that faith is natural?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When do you feel close to your fitrah?
• What can cover up the fitrah?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice moments when my heart turns to Allah naturally."

• Notice your heart turning to Allah.
• Draw an inner compass.
• Share natural signs.
• Next time: the next ayah (30:31) tells us to turn back to Allah. Explore it together!

Action: Notice moments when your heart turns to Allah naturally.
