Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What happens to a cut on your knee after a few days?"

Watch the SciShow Kids video How Do Cuts Heal?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Nuh tell them to do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can Allah forgive everything?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Nuh is surah 71. Find ayah 10. The key words istaghfiru rabbakum mean ask your Lord's forgiveness, and ghaffar means the One who forgives again and again. Our bodies heal cuts, and trees heal their bark. Allah heals our hearts when we turn back to Him.

Fact: What does a scab do?

Ages 5–8: Healing tree. Look for a tree with a healed scar on its bark.

Ages 9–12: Regrowing. Find animals that can regrow a lost part, like starfish.

Finish with: "I found that a scab ___."

Talk together:

• What does it feel like to be forgiven?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When can we ask Allah for forgiveness?
• How can we forgive others too?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say astaghfirullah after each salah."

• Say astaghfirullah after salah.
• Find a healed tree scar.
• Tell someone about animals that regrow.
• Next time: the next ayah (71:11) says forgiveness brings rain. Explore it together!

Action: Say astaghfirullah after each salah.
