Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Who is the wisest person you know, and why?"

Watch the Project Zamzam video introducing Surah Ya-Sin.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah swear by here?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes words wise?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ya-Sin is surah 36. Find ayah 2. The key word al-hakim means wise, full of wisdom. Allah describes His own Book as wise: every rule and story in it is placed exactly where it should be. Wisdom means knowing the right thing to do and doing it at the right time.

Fact: Which other surah opens by calling the Quran wise, right after its letters?

Ages 5–8: Wise choices. Act out two choices, a wise one and an unwise one, and let the family guess which is which.

Ages 9–12: Wisdom list. Write five pieces of wisdom you have learned from the Quran so far.

Finish with: "I found that ___ also calls the Quran wise."

Talk together:

• What does it mean that the Quran is wise?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can the Quran make us wiser?
• When did a wise choice help you?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will stop and think before one big choice each day."

• Pause before choosing.
• Act out wise choices.
• Share your wisdom list.
• Next time: the next ayah (36:3) speaks to the Prophet about his mission. Explore it together!

Action: Stop and think before one big choice each day.
