Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How many blessings can you count in one minute?"

Watch the One4kids video Count the Blessings of Allah with Zaky.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question does Allah ask?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people sometimes doubt Allah's blessings?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Najm is surah 53. Find ayah 55. The key word tatamara means you doubt or argue. After telling of life, death, wealth, contentment and the lessons of the past, Allah asks which favour we could doubt. When we count our blessings, doubt melts away.

Fact: How many blessings can your family list in five minutes?

Ages 5–8: Blessing count. Count blessings on your fingers, then on your toes!

Ages 9–12: Blessing list. Write as many blessings as you can in five minutes, then compare with your family.

Finish with: "I found that our family listed ___ blessings."

Talk together:

• Why do we forget our blessings?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Which blessing do you notice least?
• How can we remember our blessings every day?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will name three blessings before I sleep."

• Name three blessings at bedtime.
• Do a blessing count.
• Share your blessing list.
• Next time: the next ayah (53:56) says this is a warner like those before. Explore it together!

Action: Name three blessings before you sleep.
