Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can a plant turn to follow the sun?"

Watch the Science Magazine video Why sunflowers follow the sun.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do the plants and trees do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can a tree bow to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rahman is surah 55. Find ayah 6. The key word yasjudan means they both prostrate. Some scholars say an-najm here means small plants without trunks, and ash-shajar means trees. Young sunflowers turn with the sun each day, and every plant grows exactly as Allah designed. In their own way, all of them submit to Him.

Fact: Why do young sunflowers turn to face the sun?

Ages 5–8: Window plant. Put a plant by a window for a week and see which way it leans.

Ages 9–12: Plant obeys. Write three rules plants follow, like growing towards light and roots growing down.

Finish with: "I found that sunflowers turn because ___."

Talk together:

• How do plants obey Allah without words?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do we bow to Allah?
• What can we learn from plants about obeying Allah?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make my sujood slow and calm."

• Watch a window plant.
• Share how plants obey.
• Next time: the next ayah (55:7) says He raised the sky and set the balance. Explore it together!

Action: Make your sujood slow and calm.
