Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What is a good question to ask a friend you haven't seen for a long time?"

Watch the Sesame Workshop video Ask Questions, Build Skills.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What are the people of Jannah doing together?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will people talk about in Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tur is surah 52. Find ayah 25. The key word yatasa'alun means asking one another. In Jannah, friends turn to each other and talk about their lives and how Allah helped them. Asking kind questions and listening well makes friendships grow.

Fact: What is the difference between an open question and a closed question?

Ages 5–8: Question ball. Toss a ball and ask a kind question each time you catch it.

Ages 9–12: Question list. Write five open questions you could ask an older relative.

Finish with: "I found that an open question is one that ___."

Talk together:

• Why do friends love asking each other questions?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What question would you ask a friend in Jannah?
• How can we show we are really listening to the answer?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask someone at home an open question and listen to the whole answer."

• Play question ball.
• Share your question list.
• Next time: the next ayah (52:26) tells what they remember about their families. Explore it together!

Action: Ask an open question.
