Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Where do squirrels keep their food for cold days?"

Watch the SciShow Kids video Stupendous Squirrel Storage!

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should each soul look at?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What have I sent ahead for tomorrow?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hashr is surah 59. Find ayah 18. The key words ma qaddamat li-ghad mean what it has sent ahead for tomorrow. Squirrels store food for winter. Believers look at their deeds each day and prepare for the Hereafter, the greatest "tomorrow".

Fact: Do squirrels remember where they hid all their food?

Ages 5–8: Store for tomorrow. Put a bead in a jar for each good deed today.

Ages 9–12: Daily review. Each night this week, write one good deed and one thing to improve.

Finish with: "I found that squirrels find their food by ___."

Talk together:

• What does "tomorrow" mean in this ayah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is it good to look at our deeds each day?
• What would you like to send ahead?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will think about my deeds every night before sleeping."

• Review your day each night.
• Fill your store jar.
• Share your daily review.
• Next time: the next ayah (59:19) warns not to be like those who forgot Allah. Explore it together!

Action: Think about your deeds every night before sleeping.
