Start with bismillah.

Ask: "When you give something away, do you lose it or gain something?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who loses when someone is stingy?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does giving help me?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Muhammad is surah 47. Find ayah 38, the last ayah. The key words wallahu al-ghaniyy mean and Allah is the Free of Need. When we give sadaqah, Allah doesn't need it; we need the reward. Holding back only hurts ourselves. The surah ends by saying that if people turn away, Allah can bring another people who will not be like them. Surah Muhammad began with deeds going to waste and ends with giving that never goes to waste.

Fact: What does the name of Allah al-Ghani mean?

Ages 5–8: Sadaqah jar. Make a jar and add a coin whenever you can.

Ages 9–12: Surah journey. Make a poster of Surah Muhammad: intentions, guidance, rivers of Jannah, tadabbur, tests and giving.

Finish with: "I found that al-Ghani means ___."

Talk together:

• What was your favourite lesson in Surah Muhammad?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why does giving help the giver?
• Where could our family's sadaqah go?
• What would you like to ask about this surah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will put something in a sadaqah jar every day."

• Recite Surah Muhammad (or part of it) with someone at home.
• Start your sadaqah jar.
• Share your surah journey.
• Next time: the next surah, Al-Fath (48), tells of a clear victory through peace. Explore it together!

Action: Put something in a sadaqah jar every day.
