Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What holds up the roof of your house?"

Watch the Reciting to Them His Signs video The Quran Called Them Pegs.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How many signs can you count in this ayah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What keeps the sky up?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Luqman is surah 31. Find ayah 10. The key words bi-ghayri 'amadin tarawnaha mean without pillars that you can see. A sign to ponder: the sky and the planets are held in place by forces we cannot see. Mountains have deep roots that help steady the land. The ayah also mentions animals, rain and plants in pairs: six signs in one ayah.

Fact: How deep can the roots of a mountain go below the surface?

Ages 5–8: Paper bridge. Try to make a paper bridge hold a coin without any pillars, and talk about Allah holding the sky.

Ages 9–12: Six signs. Draw the six signs in this ayah as a comic strip.

Finish with: "I found that mountain roots can go about ___ deep."

Talk together:

• Which of the six signs amazes you most?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What unseen forces hold things together?
• How do mountains help us?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will look up at the sky and remember Allah holds it."

• Look up and remember.
• Build a paper bridge.
• Share six signs.
• Next time: the next ayah (31:11) challenges the idols to create anything. Explore it together!

Action: Look up at the sky and remember Allah holds it.
