Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How can you tell if something is true, or just what someone thinks?"

Watch the Teaching Without Frills video Fact or Opinion for Kids.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Will anyone be able to deny the Event when it comes?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do some people say the Day of Judgement isn't real?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 2. The key word kadhibah means a lie or a denial. Some people argue about the Hereafter now, but when it arrives it will be as plain as a fact you can see with your own eyes. Nobody will be able to say it isn't real.

Fact: How can we check whether something is a fact?

Ages 5–8: Fact or feeling. Say five sentences and let your family shout "fact!" or "feeling!"

Ages 9–12: Proof hunt. Pick three facts and write how each one could be checked.

Finish with: "I found that a fact is something we can ___."

Talk together:

• Why will no one be able to deny this Day when it comes?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How is believing in the unseen different from guessing?
• How can we be honest even when it's hard?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will check before I repeat something I heard."

• Check before you repeat.
• Play fact or feeling.
• Share your proof hunt.
• Next time: the next ayah (56:3) says the Event will lower some and raise others. Explore it together!

Action: Check before you repeat something you heard.
