Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do lion cubs play with their brothers and sisters?"

Watch the Discovery clip of lion cubs playing.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why are brothers and sisters so special?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 12. The key words sahibatihi wa akhih mean his spouse and his brother. These are people we love most. The ayah shows how desperate the wrongdoer will be. In this life, we should treasure our families.

Fact: Why do lion cubs play-fight with each other?

Ages 5–8: Sibling gift. Make a small drawing or card for a brother, sister or cousin.

Ages 9–12: Family tree. Draw your family tree with brothers, sisters and cousins.

Finish with: "I found that lion cubs play-fight to ___."

Talk together:

• Why is family a gift from Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can siblings help each other?
• What can you do when you argue with a sibling?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do something kind for a sibling or cousin."

• Be kind to a sibling.
• Give your sibling gift.
• Show your family tree.
• Next time: the next ayah (70:13) mentions the family that sheltered him. Explore it together!

Action: Do something kind for a sibling or cousin.
