Find it in the mushaf: Surah Adh-Dhariyat is surah 51. Find ayah 21. The key word anfusikum means yourselves. Your heart beats about a hundred thousand times a day without you asking it to. Your lungs, eyes and brain all work together. Allah asks us to look at ourselves and think.

Fact: About how many litres of air can your lungs hold?

Ages 5–8: Breath balloon. Take one deep breath and blow it all into a balloon. How big did it get?

Ages 9–12: Body map. Draw an outline of a body and label five organs and what they do.

Finish with: "I found that my lungs hold about ___ litres."

Talk together:

• What surprised you about how your body works?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we look after the body Allah gave us?
• Why does Allah ask, "Will you not look?"
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for one part of my body each day."
