Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How does cool water feel on a hot, tired day?"

Watch the Deenee video The Story of Prophet Ayyub.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What came out when Ayyub struck the ground?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Where does water under the ground come from?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Sad is surah 38. Find ayah 42. The key word mughtasal means a place for washing. Allah answered Ayyub's du'a with a spring of cool water. He washed and drank, and Allah healed him. Much of the fresh water on Earth is hidden underground and comes up as springs. It is a sign to ponder: Allah sends cure and help in ways we do not expect.

Fact: Roughly what share of the Earth's fresh liquid water is stored underground?

Ages 5–8: Spring in a cup. Push a sponge into a cup of water and watch water rise up around it.

Ages 9–12: Water journey. Draw how rain soaks into the ground and comes out as a spring.

Finish with: "I found that about ___ of fresh liquid water is underground."

Talk together:

• How did Allah answer Ayyub's du'a?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does water help us heal and stay clean?
• When has Allah helped you in an unexpected way?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah before drinking water and thank Him after."

• Drink and thank Allah.
• Make a spring in a cup.
• Share the water journey.
• Next time: the next ayah (38:43) tells how Ayyub's family was restored. Explore it together!

Action: Remember Allah before drinking water and thank Him after.
