Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How many ways can you say hello?"

Watch the JunyTony video Hello Around the World. (It has music.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is the Quran for?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How has the Quran reached people in every country?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qalam is surah 68. Find ayah 52, the last ayah. The key words dhikrun lil-'alamin mean a reminder for all the worlds. The surah began with the pen and ends with this: the Quran is for everyone, in every land and language. Its meaning has been translated into very many languages.

Fact: Into about how many languages has the meaning of the Quran been translated?

Ages 5–8: Hello map. Learn to say hello in five languages and mark where each is spoken on a map.

Ages 9–12: Quran around the world. Find five countries with many Muslims and the main language in each.

Finish with: "I found that the Quran's meaning is in about ___ languages."

Talk together:

• Why is the Quran for everyone?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we share the Quran's message kindly?
• What has this surah taught you?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will share one thing I learned from Surah Al-Qalam."

• Share one lesson from this surah.
• Recite Surah Al-Qalam (or part of it) with someone at home.
• Show your hello map.
• Next time: the next surah, Al-Haqqah (69), begins with the Day that will surely come. Explore it together!

Action: Share one thing you learned from Surah Al-Qalam.
