Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What signs tell us that something is coming?"

Watch the IQRA Cartoon video Prophet Stories: Isa. You can watch the first part.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is 'Isa a sign of?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How should knowing about the Hour change what I do today?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 61. The key words la-'ilmun lis-sa'ah mean a sign of the Hour. Many scholars explain that 'Isa's return before the end of the world is one of its signs. The ayah's main message is calm: don't doubt, and follow the straight path. Ask your teacher if you want to know more.

Fact: What does the word as-sa'ah mean?

Ages 5–8: Ready today. Do one good deed today as if tomorrow were very important.

Ages 9–12: Path, not panic. Write why the ayah tells us to follow the straight path instead of worrying.

Finish with: "I found that as-sa'ah means ___."

Talk together:

• Why does the ayah say "have no doubt"?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we stay calm and ready?
• What does following the straight path look like today?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will focus on today's good deeds instead of worrying about the future."

• Focus on today's good.
• Be ready today.
• Share path, not panic.
• Next time: the next ayah (43:62) says shaytan is an open enemy. Explore it together!

Action: Focus on today's good deeds instead of worrying about the future.
