Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What is the most beautiful garden you have ever seen?"

Watch the NParksSG video The Naturalist Trail At Jacob Ballas Children's Garden.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where will the mindful people be?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If gardens here are so lovely, what will Jannah be like?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tur is surah 52. Find ayah 17. The key word al-muttaqin means those who are mindful of Allah. After the warnings, Allah gives good news: the mindful will live in gardens and joy. The gardens of this world are only a tiny taste of what Allah has prepared.

Fact: What do plants need to grow well in a garden?

Ages 5–8: Dream garden. Draw the garden you would love to walk in, with trees, water and flowers.

Ages 9–12: Plant a pot. Plant seeds in a pot and keep a growth chart for two weeks.

Finish with: "I found that plants need ___ to grow."

Talk together:

• What does it mean to be mindful of Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do gardens make you feel?
• What could we do this week to be among the mindful?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will care for a plant every day and remember the gardens of Jannah."

• Care for a plant.
• Draw your dream garden.
• Start a growth chart.
• Next time: the next ayah (52:18) tells how happy they will be. Explore it together!

Action: Care for a plant every day and remember the gardens of Jannah.
