Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What is your favourite garden or park?"

Watch the Ayesha the story sage video The Garden of Jannah.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will believers have from their Lord?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would I wish for in Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shura is surah 42. Find ayah 22. The key word rawdat means meadows or lush gardens. This ayah compares two groups. Wrongdoers will worry about what they did. Believers who did good will rest in beautiful gardens and receive whatever they wish from Allah. That is the great bounty, a reward far beyond anything on earth.

Fact: In Arabic, what is a kindergarten often called?

Ages 5–8: Dream garden. Draw the garden you hope for in Jannah with flowers, rivers and trees.

Ages 9–12: Meadow walk. Visit a park or garden and write five things that remind you of the gardens described in the Quran.

Finish with: "I found that a kindergarten is often called ___."

Talk together:

• What makes a garden peaceful?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What good deeds lead to the gardens of Jannah?
• What would you wish for from Allah?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for Jannah for my whole family."

• Make du'a for Jannah.
• Draw your dream garden.
• Share your meadow walk.
• Next time: the next ayah (42:23) speaks of good news and love among relatives. Explore it together!

Action: Make du'a for Jannah for your whole family.
