Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever walked somewhere in a big group?"

Watch the Deen for Kids video Surah Az-Zumar, Quran Recitation for Kids. A few minutes of it is enough.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where does this Book come from?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is this surah called The Groups?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zumar is surah 39, and it has seventy-five ayat. The key word az-zumar means groups or crowds. Near the end, people are led in groups, some to the Fire and some to the Garden. The surah keeps returning to one big idea: worship Allah sincerely. It opens by reminding us that the Quran comes from Allah, Al-Aziz and Al-Hakim.

Fact: Which two ayat near the end of this surah give it its name?

Ages 5–8: Group walk. Walk around the house as a family group and talk about walking together towards good.

Ages 9–12: Big idea hunt. Skim the translation and list every ayah that mentions sincere worship.

Finish with: "I found that the name comes from ayat ___ and ___."

Talk together:

• Which group would you like to walk with on the Last Day?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does the Quran come from the Mighty and Wise?
• What do you hope to learn in Surah Az-Zumar?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one good deed together with my family."

• Do good as a family group.
• Take a group walk.
• Share your big idea hunt.
• Next time: the next ayah (39:2) asks us to worship sincerely. Explore it together!

Action: Do one good deed together with your family.
