Start with bismillah.

Look at the skin on the back of your hand. Ask: "What does skin do for us?"

Watch the Dr. Binocs video How Your Skin Works.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Why does Allah warn us?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does my skin protect me every day?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 16. This ayah is a warning: Allah warns us so that we stay far from wrong.

Now something different to be thankful for. In this world, our skin is a strong gift from Allah. It keeps germs out and helps us feel the world.

Fact: How many layers does our skin have?

Ages 5–8: Touch test. Feel something soft, rough, warm and cold. Thank Allah for your skin.

Ages 9–12: Skin layers. Draw and label the three main layers of skin.

Finish with: "I found that skin has ___ main layers."

Talk together:

• How does our skin protect us?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we look after our skin?
• What helps us stay far from wrong?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will look after my skin by washing well and wearing a hat in the sun."

• Try the touch test.
• Show your skin layers drawing.
• Next time: the next ayah (70:17) says the Fire calls those who turned away. Explore it together!

Action: Look after your skin.
