Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Which of your senses would you miss the most?"

Watch the Kids Castle of Tales video Our Five Senses, Allah's Special Gift. (It has music.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which three gifts are named?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I thank Allah for my senses?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Sajdah is surah 32. Find ayah 9. The key words as-sam' wal-absar wal-af'idah mean hearing, sight and hearts. The heart here means understanding. These gifts let us learn, love and worship. Yet Allah says people thank Him very little. Using these gifts in good ways is a way of thanking Him.

Fact: What is the name of the smallest bone in the human body, found inside the ear?

Ages 5–8: Sense walk. Walk around the garden and name one thing you hear, see and feel.

Ages 9–12: Gift uses. For each gift, write two good ways to use it and one way to protect it.

Finish with: "I found that the smallest bone is the ___."

Talk together:

• Why do people forget to thank Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can you use your eyes and ears well?
• What does understanding with the heart mean?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for my hearing and sight each morning."

• Thank Allah for your senses.
• Take a sense walk.
• Share gift uses.
• Next time: the next ayah (32:10) answers doubts about being raised again. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah for your hearing and sight each morning.
