Start with bismillah.

Put your fingers in your ears while someone talks. Ask: "How much could you hear?"

Watch the WHO video How to take care of our ears.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why would people block their ears to good words?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Nuh is surah 71. Find ayah 7. The key words ja'alu asabi'ahum fi adhanihim mean they put their fingers in their ears. They even covered their heads with their clothes so they wouldn't see or hear Nuh. Our ears are a gift for hearing good things.

Fact: What does the cochlea inside the ear do?

Ages 5–8: Listening test. Have someone whisper a word. Can you hear it with ears open? With ears covered?

Ages 9–12: Ear care. List three ways to protect your hearing.

Finish with: "I found that the cochlea ___."

Talk together:

• Why is refusing to listen a kind of pride?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we keep our ears and hearts open?
• When is it right to cover our ears?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will listen fully when someone reminds me of something good."

• Listen fully to good reminders.
• Try the whisper test.
• Share your ear care tips.
• Next time: the next ayah (71:8) says Nuh called them openly. Explore it together!

Action: Listen fully when someone reminds you of something good.
