Start with bismillah.

Stand under a very tall tree and look up. Ask: "How does it make you feel?"

Watch the New Scientist video What is awe?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question does Nuh ask?"

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

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Nuh is surah 71. Find ayah 13. The key words la tarjuna lillahi waqara mean you do not expect greatness and dignity for Allah. That feeling of wonder at a huge canyon or a giant tree is called awe. It helps us remember how great Allah is.

Fact: How tall can a redwood tree grow?

Ages 5–8: Awe walk. Go outside and find three things that make you say "wow, subhanAllah".

Ages 9–12: Awe journal. Write about a time you felt amazed by nature.

Finish with: "I found that redwoods can grow about ___ tall."

Talk together:

• What gives you a feeling of awe?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does awe help us respect Allah?
• How can we show respect in salah?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say subhanAllah every time something amazes me."

• Say subhanAllah when amazed.
• Share your awe walk.
• Tell someone how tall redwoods grow.
• Next time: the next ayah (71:14) says Allah created us in stages. Explore it together!

Action: Say subhanAllah every time something amazes you.
