Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does it feel like to share your lunch with a hungry friend?"

Watch the My Muslim Kids video Sharing His Lunch.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What drink is mentioned for the wrongdoers?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make my food and drink a reason for reward?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 67. The key word shawb means a mixture. The drink of the Fire is the opposite of the pure drink of Jannah described earlier in this surah. We turn our everyday eating and drinking into reward by starting with bismillah, thanking Allah, and sharing with others.

Fact: What do Muslims say before eating and after finishing?

Ages 5–8: Snack swap. Offer someone the first pick from your snack today.

Ages 9–12: Contrast table. Compare the drinks of Jannah in ayat 45 to 47 with this ayah.

Finish with: "I found that we say ___ before and ___ after."

Talk together:

• How is this drink the opposite of Jannah's?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can eating and drinking earn reward?
• Who could you share food with this week?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah before and after every meal."

• Remember Allah at meals.
• Do a snack swap.
• Share the contrast table.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:68) says they return to the Fire. Explore it together!

Action: Remember Allah before and after every meal.
