Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can wind and rain wear down a whole mountain?"

Watch the Learn Bright video Weathering and Erosion.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will happen to the mountains?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If mountains can crumble, what will last forever?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 5. The key word bussat means crumbled into powder. Over thousands of years, rain, ice and wind slowly wear rocks away. On the Last Day, Allah will turn huge mountains to powder all at once. Only Allah lasts forever.

Fact: What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

Ages 5–8: Shake the rocks. Put a few sugar cubes in a jar with a lid and shake. Watch them turn to powder.

Ages 9–12: Rock changes. Draw how a rock can break, move and settle somewhere new.

Finish with: "I found that weathering means ___."

Talk together:

• What does it tell us that even mountains won't last?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What lasts longer than toys, money or buildings?
• How can we build good deeds that last?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one deed that will last, like teaching someone something good."

• Teach someone something good.
• Shake the rocks.
• Share your rock changes.
• Next time: the next ayah (56:6) says they will become scattered dust. Explore it together!

Action: Do one deed that will last, like teaching someone something good.
