Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does it mean to be curious?"

Watch the Builders video What Does It Mean to Be CURIOUS?

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be curious about the Quran?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Najm is surah 53. Find ayah 59. The key word ta'jabun means you wonder or are surprised. Some people found the Quran strange and mocked it. Good curiosity asks questions to understand and learn. We can be curious about the Quran, asking what each ayah means for us.

Fact: What is one question about the Quran you'd like to learn the answer to?

Ages 5–8: Wonder box. Write or draw questions about the Quran and put them in a box for family time.

Ages 9–12: Ask and answer. Choose one ayah and write three curious questions about it.

Finish with: "I found the answer to my question: ___."

Talk together:

• What's the difference between mocking and being curious?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What surprises you most in the Quran?
• Who can we ask our questions to?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask a teacher one question about the Quran."

• Ask a teacher a Quran question.
• Make a wonder box.
• Share ask and answer.
• Next time: the next ayah (53:60) asks why people laugh and do not weep. Explore it together!

Action: Ask a teacher one question about the Quran.
