Watch the Raising Muslim Kids video Luqman's 5 Pieces of Advice to His Son.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where might the tiny seed be hidden?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Do my small deeds really count?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Luqman is surah 31. Find ayah 16. The key word khardal means mustard seed, one of the tiniest seeds. Luqman teaches that nothing is too small or too hidden for Allah. Every small good deed and every small wrong is known. Allah is Al-Latif, aware of the finest details, and Al-Khabir, fully informed.

Fact: How big is a mustard seed, in millimetres?

Ages 5–8: Seed hunt. Hide a few small seeds in a tray of sand and try to find them all.

Ages 9–12: Tiny deeds. List ten tiny good deeds that take less than a minute.

Finish with: "I found that a mustard seed is about ___ millimetres."
