Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How strong can wind be?"

Watch the Hujan Malaya video What is a Sandstorm?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was left in the morning?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does the ayah say 'by its Lord's command'?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ahqaf is surah 46. Find ayah 25. The key word tudammiru means it destroys. The wind obeyed Allah's command. In another surah we learn it blew for seven nights and eight days. In the morning only their empty homes stood. Wind, rain and sun all move only by Allah's permission.

Fact: How fast can the wind in a sandstorm blow?

Ages 5–8: Wind power. Make a paper windmill and see how wind makes it spin.

Ages 9–12: Wind map. Find out about one famous wind, like the shamal or the monsoon.

Finish with: "I found that sandstorm winds can reach ___."

Talk together:

• What does it mean that wind obeys Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why did only the homes remain?
• How can we thank Allah for gentle winds?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will notice the wind and remember that Allah controls it."

• Notice the wind.
• Make a paper windmill.
• Share your wind map.
• Next time: the next ayah (46:26) talks about the gifts of hearing, sight and hearts. Explore it together!

Action: Notice the wind and remember that Allah controls it.
