Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What does a fire need to keep burning?"

Watch the Little School video What is Fire?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah ask us to think about now?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How did people first light fires?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Waqi'ah is surah 56. Find ayah 71. The key words an-nar allati turun mean the fire that you kindle. Fire cooks our food, warms our homes and gives light. It needs fuel, air and heat to burn. Without any one of these, the fire goes out.

Fact: What three things make up the fire triangle?

Ages 5–8: Fire triangle. Draw a triangle and write fuel, air and heat on its sides.

Ages 9–12: Put it out. Explain how water, a fire blanket and sand each stop a fire.

Finish with: "I found that the fire triangle is ___, ___ and ___."

Talk together:

• How does fire help us every day?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why must we be careful with fire?
• What would life be like without fire?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for a warm meal cooked on a fire or stove."

• Thank Allah for warm food.
• Draw the fire triangle.
• Share how to put out fire.
• Next time: the next ayah (56:72) asks who grew the tree for the fire. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah for a warm meal cooked on a fire or stove.
