Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do you feel before a test if you have studied? And if you haven't?"

Watch the TED-Ed video 3 tips on how to study effectively.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What was this person sure about?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does knowing about the reckoning help me now?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 20. The key words mulaqin hisabiyah mean meeting my account. This believer was ready because they remembered the Day all along. Students who know a test is coming prepare a little each day.

Fact: Why is studying a little every day better than cramming the night before?

Ages 5–8: Ready bag. Pack a bag for school the night before and see how calm the morning feels.

Ages 9–12: Study plan. Make a one-week plan for learning a short surah, a few lines each day.

Finish with: "I found that studying a little each day works better because ___."

Talk together:

• How does being ready make us feel calm?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can we do each day to be ready for our meeting with Allah?
• How is remembering the Last Day a help, not a worry?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn a few lines of Quran every day."

• Learn a few lines each day.
• Try the ready bag.
• Share your study plan.
• Next time: the next ayah (69:21) says they will live a life that pleases them. Explore it together!

Action: Learn a few lines of Quran every day.
