Start with bismillah.

Hold your thumb up and cover a faraway tree. Ask: "Is your thumb really bigger than the tree?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How do they see the Day?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do important things sometimes seem far away?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ma'arij is surah 70. Find ayah 6. The key word ba'ida means far off. Things far away look small. Some people think the Day is so far away that it doesn't matter.

Fact: Why do faraway things look smaller?

Ages 5–8: Thumb trick. Use your thumb to "hide" big things far away. Write what you hid.

Ages 9–12: Perspective drawing. Draw a road getting narrower into the distance.

Finish with: "I found that far things look small because ___."

Talk together:

• Why might people feel the Hereafter is far away?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we keep it in mind every day?
• What helps you remember important things?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember the Hereafter before I sleep."

• Remember the Hereafter at night.
• Play the thumb trick.
• Show your perspective drawing.
• Next time: the next ayah (70:7) says Allah sees it as near. Explore it together!

Action: Remember the Hereafter before you sleep.
