Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What happens to a sandcastle when the tide comes in?"

Watch the Stewart Lobb video of a sandcastle and the tide.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What has he lost?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What kind of power really lasts?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 29. The key words halaka 'anni sultaniyah mean my authority has perished. A sandcastle may look grand, but one tide washes it away. Worldly power is like that; only Allah's power lasts forever.

Fact: What makes the tide come in and go out?

Ages 5–8: Sand test. Build a little sand or soil castle in a tray, then pour water slowly. Watch what happens.

Ages 9–12: Tide times. Look up the times of high and low tide at a beach for one week.

Finish with: "I found that tides are caused by ___."

Talk together:

• Why does worldly power not last?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How should people with power behave?
• How can you use your small "power" (like being older) kindly?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will use my turn as leader to be fair to everyone."

• Be fair when you lead.
• Try the sand test.
• Share your tide times.
• Next time: the next ayah (69:30) is a stern command about him. Explore it together!

Action: Use your turn as leader to be fair to everyone.
