Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What marks do you leave behind after you walk on wet sand?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things are recorded?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Can a good deed keep growing after I do it?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ya-Sin is surah 36. Find ayah 12. The key word atharahum means their traces or footprints. Allah records not only what we do, but also what our deeds leave behind: a tree we planted, a skill we taught, a kind habit others copied. Everything is kept in a clear record called imam mubin.

Fact: How long can some trees, like olive trees, live?

Ages 5–8: Footprint art. Make painted footprints on paper and write a good deed inside each one.

Ages 9–12: Ripple map. Draw one good deed in the middle and arrows showing how it could spread to others.

Finish with: "I found that some olive trees live ___ years."

Talk together:

• What good traces would you like to leave behind?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can one deed keep helping after we finish it?
• What have others left behind that helps you?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will start one good thing that others can carry on."

• Start something lasting.
• Make footprint art.
• Share your ripple map.
• Next time: the next ayah (36:13) begins the story of a town. Explore it together!

Action: Start one good thing that others can carry on.
