Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What would you miss most if you had to leave home suddenly?"

Watch the Twinkl Home Educators video Ancient Egypt and the River Nile.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Pharaoh's people leave behind?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What happens to our things when we are gone?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Dukhan is surah 44. Find ayah 25. The key words jannat wa 'uyun mean gardens and springs. Egypt was green along the Nile, with beautiful gardens and flowing water. Pharaoh's people had all of it, yet in one day they left everything behind. Only deeds go with us.

Fact: What is the Nile delta?

Ages 5–8: River garden. Draw a river with gardens on both sides.

Ages 9–12: What stays. Make two lists: what we leave behind and what we take with us to Allah.

Finish with: "I found that the Nile delta is ___."

Talk together:

• Why couldn't the gardens save Pharaoh's people?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What matters more than beautiful things?
• What good deed would you like to "take with you"?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one deed that will stay with me, like helping someone in secret."

• Draw a river garden.
• Share what stays.
• Next time: the next ayah (44:26) mentions fields and fine places. Explore it together!

Action: Do a deed that stays.
