Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What is the most refreshing drink you know?"

Watch the kidsdeentime video Surah Al-Kawthar: The River of Jannah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where does the cup's drink come from?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What are the springs of Jannah like?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 45. The key word ma'in means a spring that flows on the surface, clear and fresh. In Jannah, drinks are served to the people as honoured guests, poured from flowing springs. Everything there is pure and good. Surah Al-Kawthar mentions a special gift of abundance given to the Prophet.

Fact: How many ayat does Surah Al-Kawthar have?

Ages 5–8: Pour for others. Practise pouring water for each family member before yourself.

Ages 9–12: Spring science. Find out how natural springs get their water.

Finish with: "I found that Surah Al-Kawthar has ___ ayat."

Talk together:

• What makes the drinks of Jannah special?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is serving others first a good manner?
• How can we thank Allah for clean water?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will serve drinks to others before myself."

• Serve others first.
• Pour for the family.
• Share spring science.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:46) describes the drink as white and delicious. Explore it together!

Action: Serve drinks to others before yourself.
