Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever picked fruit straight from a tree?"

Watch the George the Farmer video Apples with George the Farmer.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will there be plenty of?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What new fruits might be in Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zukhruf is surah 43. Find ayah 73. The key words fakihatun kathirah mean plenty of fruit. On earth, farmers work hard all year for a harvest, and fruit only lasts a short time. In Jannah, fruit is plentiful and never runs out. Every apple we eat now is a small reminder of that gift.

Fact: How long does an apple tree take to grow its first fruit?

Ages 5–8: Fruit tasting. Taste three fruits and say alhamdulillah for each.

Ages 9–12: Farm to table. Write the steps it takes for an apple to reach your plate.

Finish with: "I found that an apple tree takes about ___ years to fruit."

Talk together:

• Why does the Quran mention fruit so often?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What is your favourite fruit?
• How can we thank Allah for fruit?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say alhamdulillah every time I eat fruit."

• Say alhamdulillah for fruit.
• Have a fruit tasting.
• Share farm to table.
• Next time: the next ayah (43:74) gives a warning about the wrongdoers. Explore it together!

Action: Say alhamdulillah every time you eat fruit.
