Start with bismillah.

Peel an onion or look at a cut boiled egg. Ask: "How many layers can you see?"

Watch the National Science Foundation video Layers of the Earth.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah create seven of?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does seven earths mean?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Talaq is surah 65. Find ayah 12, the last ayah. The key words sab'a samawat mean seven heavens, and mithlahunn means like them (in number). Scholars have explained "seven earths" in different ways, and only Allah knows fully. Scientists describe our Earth in layers, a sign to ponder of Allah's careful design.

Fact: What are the main layers of the Earth?

Ages 5–8: Egg Earth. Look at a cut hard-boiled egg: shell (crust), white (mantle), yolk (core).

Ages 9–12: Layer model. Make a model of Earth's layers with play dough.

Finish with: "I found that Earth's main layers are ___."

Talk together:

• Why does Allah tell us about the heavens and earths?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does it mean that Allah knows everything?
• What has Surah At-Talaq taught you about Allah's care?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will think about Allah's power when I look at the sky."

• Think of Allah's power when you look up.
• Recite Surah At-Talaq (or part of it) with someone at home.
• Share your layer model.
• Next time: the next surah, At-Tahrim (66), begins with Allah gently asking the Prophet a question. Explore it together!

Action: Think about Allah's power when you look at the sky.
