Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How does a chick grow inside an egg?"

Watch the Twinkl video The Life Cycle of a Chicken.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does life begin from?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah turn something tiny into a whole creature?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Najm is surah 53. Find ayah 46. The key word nutfah means a tiny drop. Every life begins from something very small. Inside an egg, a tiny speck grows into a chick with eyes, feathers and a beak in just three weeks. Only Allah can do that.

Fact: Which part of an egg feeds the growing chick?

Ages 5–8: Egg to chick. Draw the stages from egg to chick to hen.

Ages 9–12: Tiny to big. List five living things that start tiny and grow big.

Finish with: "I found that the chick is fed by the ___."

Talk together:

• What does a tiny start teach us about Allah's power?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How did you grow from tiny to who you are now?
• How can we take care of small, growing things?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will care for something small, like a plant or pet."

• Care for something small.
• Draw egg to chick.
• Share tiny to big.
• Next time: the next ayah (53:47) promises a second creation. Explore it together!

Action: Care for something small, like a plant or pet.
