Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What would it be like to wait on a high wall between two places?"

Listen together as Idrees Abkar recites ayat 44–51 of Al-A'raf, a short clip shared by Quran Visualization.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do the people on the Heights say?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who are the people of the Heights?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 46. Al-A'raf, the Heights, is a place between Jannah and the Fire. Many scholars say its people had equal good and bad deeds. They greet the people of Jannah and hope Allah's mercy will let them in.

Fact: This surah is named after this ayah: Al-A'raf, the Heights.

Ages 5–8: Peace greeting. Greet everyone with salam today.

Ages 9–12: Hope. Write what the people of the Heights teach about hope.

Finish with: "They greet with ___ be upon you."

Talk together:

• Where are the Heights?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What do they hope for?
• How can you tip your scale to good?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will add good deeds to my scale."

• Hope for mercy.
• Greet with salam.
• Add good deeds.
• Next time: the next ayah (7:47) gives their dua. Explore it together!

Action: Add good deeds to your scale.
