Start with bismillah.

Ask: "When a fire alarm rings at school, what do you do straight away?"

Watch the All Special Needs Now video Fire Drill at School.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should believers do when they hear the Friday call?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why should we stop what we're doing when Allah calls?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Jumu'ah is surah 62. Find ayah 9. The key words fas'aw ila dhikrillah mean hurry to the remembrance of Allah. When an alarm rings, everyone stops at once. The call to Friday prayer is a call to stop and turn to Allah. Your parents and teachers can explain the rulings about Jumu'ah.

Fact: Why is Friday called Jumu'ah?

Ages 5–8: Quick response. Practise stopping your game as soon as someone calls your name.

Ages 9–12: Friday plan. Plan how your family can make Friday special.

Finish with: "I found that Jumu'ah means ___."

Talk together:

• Why does Allah ask us to drop everything for His call?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What makes Friday special for Muslims?
• How can we get ready for Jumu'ah?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will get ready for Friday early."

• Practise quick response.
• Share your Friday plan.
• Next time: the next ayah (62:10) says spread out after the prayer and remember Allah often. Explore it together!

Action: Get ready for Friday early.
