Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What makes a heart healthy, inside and out?"

Watch the Jannah Institute video What Is Qalbun Saleem, the Sound Heart?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What kind of heart did Ibrahim bring to Allah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do I keep my heart pure?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 84. The key words qalb salim mean a sound, healthy heart. A sound heart is free from shirk, jealousy, hatred and pride. Our physical heart pumps blood; our spiritual heart holds faith and feelings. We keep it healthy with remembrance, kindness and asking forgiveness.

Fact: About how many times does a child's heart beat in one minute?

Ages 5–8: Heart beat. Feel your heartbeat, then talk about keeping your inner heart healthy too.

Ages 9–12: Heart cleaner. List three things that make the heart unhealthy and three that heal it.

Finish with: "I found that it beats about ___ times a minute."

Talk together:

• What is a sound heart?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What spoils a heart?
• What heals a heart?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will clear one bad feeling from my heart by forgiving someone."

• Forgive to clean your heart.
• Feel your heartbeat.
• Share the heart cleaner.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:85) shows Ibrahim asking a big question. Explore it together!

Action: Clear one bad feeling from your heart by forgiving someone.
