Start with bismillah.

Ask: "If you build a sandcastle, could it ever be your boss?"

Watch the Irum Farrukh video Allah Is Al-Khaliq, the Creator.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question did Ibrahim ask?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is it strange to worship something you made?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 95. The key word tanhitun means you carve. Ibrahim's question is simple and powerful: you carved these statues yourselves, so how can they be your gods? A maker is always greater than what is made. That is why only the Maker of everything deserves worship.

Fact: What material were many ancient idols carved from?

Ages 5–8: Carve and think. Carve a shape from soap or clay and say: I made this, so it cannot make me.

Ages 9–12: Maker and made. List five things people make and what made the materials they used.

Finish with: "I found that many idols were made of ___."

Talk together:

• Why is a maker greater than what is made?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What did Ibrahim want his people to realise?
• How do we show that only Allah is worshipped?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make something and thank Allah for the materials."

• Make something and thank Allah.
• Carve and think.
• Share maker and made.
• Next time: the next ayah (37:96) says Allah created everything. Explore it together!

Action: Make something and thank Allah for the materials.
