Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does putting your forehead on the ground show?"

Watch the Assim Al-Hakeem video How to Perform Sujood at Tilawah When Reading the Quran.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do the believers do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is sujud so special?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Sajdah is surah 32. Find ayah 15. The key word sujjadan means in prostration. This is the ayah that gives the surah its name. Many mushafs have a special mark here, showing a place where readers bow down in prostration. Sujud shows humility: the highest part of the body touches the ground for Allah.

Fact: How many places of prostration are marked in most mushafs?

Ages 5–8: Mark hunt. With a grown-up, look for the prostration mark in the mushaf.

Ages 9–12: Humble heart. Write how sujud helps remove pride from the heart.

Finish with: "I found that most mushafs mark ___ places."

Talk together:

• Why is sujud a sign of humility?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does pride stop people from bowing?
• How do you feel in sujud?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make a long, calm sujud in one prayer each day."

• Make a calm sujud.
• Go on a mark hunt.
• Share humble heart.
• Next time: the next ayah (32:16) describes those who leave their beds to pray. Explore it together!

Action: Make a long, calm sujud in one prayer each day.
