Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Is it always good to be determined?"

Watch the Kids Hut video Sharing is Caring.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did they feel as they set out?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "When does being determined become a bad thing?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qalam is surah 68. Find ayah 25. The key words 'ala hardin qadirin mean set on their purpose, thinking they were able. They were determined, but for a selfish goal. Determination is like a strong engine; it needs to be pointed in a good direction.

Fact: What does "selfish" mean, and what is its opposite?

Ages 5–8: Sharing plate. Share a plate of fruit with your family and count how many smiles you see.

Ages 9–12: Good goals. Write one goal you're determined about and how it could help others.

Finish with: "I found that the opposite of selfish is ___."

Talk together:

• What made the owners so sure of themselves?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we use determination for good?
• What does sharing do to our hearts?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will share something I really like."

• Share something you like.
• Do the sharing plate.
• Share your good goal.
• Next time: the next ayah (68:26) says when they saw the garden, they thought they were lost. Explore it together!

Action: Share something you really like.
