Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why would Allah send a warning before something big happens?"

Watch the IQRA CARTOON video First Revelation.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is this Day called?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who will we meet on the Day of Meeting?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ghafir is surah 40. Find ayah 15. The key words rafi' ad-darajat mean the One who raises ranks. Allah is high above everything and He raises people in rank because of their faith and good deeds. He sent revelation to His messengers to warn about the Day of Meeting, when everyone will meet their Lord and their deeds.

Fact: What is the name for the Last Day used in this ayah?

Ages 5–8: Climbing ranks. Draw a ladder and write a good deed on each rung.

Ages 9–12: Why warn? Write why a warning is a kindness, with an example from daily life.

Finish with: "I found that the Day is called the Day of ___."

Talk together:

• How does Allah raise people in rank?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is a warning a kind thing?
• How can we get ready for the Day of Meeting?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will add one rung of good to my ladder each day."

• Climb with good deeds.
• Draw a deeds ladder.
• Share why warn.
• Next time: the next ayah (40:16) asks who owns the kingdom on that Day. Explore it together!

Action: Add one rung of good to your ladder each day.
