Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What happens to the sea when people throw rubbish in it?"

Watch the Omar and Hana episode Save the Earth.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why has damage appeared?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I help repair the earth?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rum is surah 30. Find ayah 41. The key word al-fasad means corruption or damage. Wrongdoing harms people and nature: pollution, waste and greed can damage land and sea. Allah lets us feel some of the results so that we change. Humans are caretakers of the earth.

Fact: About how many tonnes of plastic enter the oceans every year?

Ages 5–8: Clean-up. Pick up litter in your garden or street with gloves and a grown-up.

Ages 9–12: Earth plan. Write five ways your family can reduce waste.

Finish with: "I found that about ___ tonnes of plastic enter the oceans each year."

Talk together:

• How do people's actions damage the earth?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why are we caretakers of the earth?
• What can your family change?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will avoid using one piece of plastic I don't need."

• Avoid unneeded plastic.
• Do a clean-up.
• Share your earth plan.
• Next time: the next ayah (30:42) asks us to travel and see. Explore it together!

Action: Avoid using one piece of plastic you don't need.
