Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Would you run to help someone who needed support?"

Watch the Quranic Benefactions video The Man Who Came Running, a recitation by Qari Minshawi.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where did the man come from?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What made him so brave?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ya-Sin is surah 36. Find ayah 20. The key word yas'a means hurrying, rushing with effort. One man heard what was happening and did not wait. He came from the farthest part of the town to stand with the messengers. One brave voice can make a difference, even far from the centre of things.

Fact: How far is one kilometre in footsteps for you? Count your steps over one hundred metres and multiply.

Ages 5–8: Helper dash. Play a game where you hurry safely to help someone pick up spilled toys.

Ages 9–12: Step count. Measure one hundred metres, count your steps, and work out your steps for a kilometre.

Finish with: "I found that one kilometre is about ___ of my steps."

Talk together:

• Why did the man hurry?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can one person make a difference?
• When could you stand up for what is right?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will hurry to help when I see someone who needs it."

• Hurry to help.
• Play helper dash.
• Share your step count.
• Next time: the next ayah (36:21) gives the man's first reason. Explore it together!

Action: Hurry to help when you see someone who needs it.
