Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How many senses do you have?"

Watch the HarperKids video Learn About Your Five Senses with Pete the Cat.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who makes the skins speak?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If Allah can make skin speak, what else can He do?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Fussilat is surah 41. Find ayah 21. The key word antaqana means He made us speak. People will be surprised that their own skins speak. The skins will answer that Allah gives speech to everything. The One who created us the first time can easily bring us back and let any part of us speak.

Fact: Which surah says that on that Day mouths are sealed while hands speak?

Ages 5–8: Five senses walk. Walk outside and name one thing for each sense.

Ages 9–12: Sense diary. Write one good thing each of your five senses did today.

Finish with: "I found that the surah is ___."

Talk together:

• What surprises you about this ayah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does this ayah show Allah's power?
• What would you like your body to say about you?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do good things my body will be happy to tell about."

• Do good your body can tell.
• Go on a senses walk.
• Share your sense diary.
• Next time: the next ayah (41:22) says nothing can be hidden from Allah. Explore it together!

Action: Do good things your body will be happy to tell about.
