Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How many seeds are inside one pomegranate?"

Watch the Yosef Glogauer video How many seeds are there in a pomegranate?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which fruits are named?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why are dates and pomegranates named here?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rahman is surah 55. Find ayah 68. The key words nakhl wa rumman mean date palms and pomegranates. A pomegranate holds hundreds of jewel-like seeds, each wrapped in juice. Dates give quick energy. Both are mentioned by name as fruits of these gardens.

Fact: How many seeds are usually inside a pomegranate?

Ages 5–8: Seed count. With an adult, open a pomegranate and count the seeds in one section.

Ages 9–12: Fruit facts. Compare the goodness in dates and pomegranates.

Finish with: "I found that a pomegranate has about ___ seeds."

Talk together:

• What do you think the fruit of Jannah tastes like?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why do you think these two fruits are named?
• How can we share fruit with neighbours?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will share a pomegranate or dates with my family."

• Share pomegranate or dates.
• Do a seed count.
• Share fruit facts.
• Next time: the next ayah (55:69) asks again about your Lord's favours. Explore it together!

Action: Share a pomegranate or dates with your family.
