Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How much food do you think a hamster can stuff in its cheeks?"

Watch the BBC Earth Kids video about why hamsters have chubby cheeks.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did he still want?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people always want more?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 15. The key words yatma'u an azid mean he greedily wants Me to add more. Even after all he was given, he wasn't thankful. A hamster stuffs its cheeks, but it only eats a little at a time.

Fact: How much can a hamster carry in its cheek pouches?

Ages 5–8: Enough plate. Draw a plate with just the right amount of food. Draw another that is too much.

Ages 9–12: Need or want? List ten things you'd like. Mark each as a need or a want.

Finish with: "I found that a hamster can carry ___ in its cheeks."

Talk together:

• Why can wanting more make us unhappy?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does "enough" mean to you?
• How does saying alhamdulillah help us feel content?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I want something new, I will first thank Allah for what I have."

• Share your need-or-want list.
• Tell someone about hamster cheeks.
• Next time: the next ayah (74:16) says he was stubborn against Allah's signs. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah before asking for more.
