Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How precious is water when you're thirsty?"

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

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did they ask for?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do we thank Allah for water?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 50. This ayah mentions, in one calm line, the thirst of the people of the Fire. It reminds us how precious water is. We thank Allah for it and share it with others.

Fact: How many people in the world don't have clean water at home? About 2 billion.

Ages 5–8: Water thanks. Say alhamdulillah when you drink water.

Ages 9–12: Share water. Write ways to help people who need clean water.

Finish with: "About ___ billion people lack clean water at home."

Talk together:

• What did they ask for?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is water precious?
• How can you thank Allah for water?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say alhamdulillah every time I drink water."

• Water is precious.
• Thank Allah.
• Share with others.
• Next time: the next ayah (7:51) explains why this happened. Explore it together!

Action: Say alhamdulillah every time you drink water.
