Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What do people do when they perform 'umrah?"

Watch the Happy Moms video How to perform Umrah for kids.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the Prophet see in his dream?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would it feel like to see the Kaaba for the first time?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Fath is surah 48. Find ayah 27. The key word ar-ru'ya means the dream or vision. The Prophet had dreamed of entering Makkah for 'umrah. It didn't happen at Hudaybiyyah, but the next year the Muslims returned and performed 'umrah in peace. Allah's promises come true at the right time.

Fact: What are the main steps of 'umrah?

Ages 5–8: Kaaba model. Make a model of the Kaaba from a box and black paper.

Ages 9–12: Umrah steps. Draw the steps of 'umrah in order with a picture for each.

Finish with: "I found that the main steps of 'umrah are ___."

Talk together:

• Why didn't the dream come true straight away?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do we feel when we wait for a promise?
• Would you like to visit the Kaaba one day?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a to visit the Kaaba one day with my family."

• Make du'a to visit the Kaaba.
• Build a Kaaba model.
• Share your umrah steps.
• Next time: the next ayah (48:28) speaks of guidance and the true religion. Explore it together!

Action: Make du'a to visit the Kaaba one day with your family.
