Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74, and it has fifty-six ayat. Find ayah 1. The surah is named after the key word al-muddaththir: the one wrapped in a cloak. Allah gently called the Prophet (peace be upon him) this way, as he rested wrapped up, before giving him a big task.

Fact: How does trapped air help a blanket or an igloo keep us warm?

Ages 5–8: Warm test. Wrap one cup of warm water in a cloth and leave one bare. Which stays warm longer?

Ages 9–12: Insulators. Test cotton, wool and foil around warm cups. Record the temperature after twenty minutes.

Finish with: "I found that blankets keep us warm by ___."

Talk together:

• Why do you think Allah called the Prophet in such a gentle way?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When is it time to get up and do something important?
• How do you feel when someone calls you kindly?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will get up straight away when I'm called for salah."

• Get up straight away for salah.
• Show your warm-cup test.
• Tell someone what al-muddaththir means.
• Next time: the next ayah (74:2) says to rise and warn. Explore it together!

Action: Get up straight away when you're called for salah.
