Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What is the strongest wind you have ever felt?"

Watch the It's AumSum Time video Where does Wind come from?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was sent against Ad?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can wind be a blessing and a warning?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Fussilat is surah 41. Find ayah 16. The key word sarsar means a fierce, roaring wind. Wind is usually a mercy: it brings clouds, spreads seeds and cools us. But Allah sent a powerful wind against Ad because of their pride, and their strength could not stop it. Wind reminds us that Allah controls everything.

Fact: What is the fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth?

Ages 5–8: Pinwheel. Make a paper pinwheel and see how wind makes it spin.

Ages 9–12: Wind good and bad. List four ways wind helps us and two ways it can harm.

Finish with: "I found that the fastest wind was about ___."

Talk together:

• How does wind help us every day?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can we say when a strong wind blows?
• Why could Ad's strength not save them?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for safety when the wind blows strongly."

• Make du'a in strong wind.
• Spin a pinwheel.
• Share wind good and bad.
• Next time: the next ayah (41:17) tells how Thamud chose blindness. Explore it together!

Action: Make du'a for safety when the wind blows strongly.
