Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 19. The key words qutila kayfa qaddar express shock at how wrongly he planned. Insects hide with camouflage to survive. He tried to hide the truth, but truth always shows itself in the end.
Fact: How does a stick insect stay hidden from birds?
Ages 5–8: Hide and spot. Hide a paper leaf among real leaves. Can your family find it?

Talk together:
