Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why is the Sun so hot, even from far away?"

Watch the Thinking Captain video Why is the Sun Hot?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is this warning about?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah warn us so clearly?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 26. The key word saqar is one of the names of the Fire. After all his pride and mocking, this man is warned. Allah's warnings are a mercy, so people can turn back while there's time.

Fact: How hot is the surface of the Sun?

Ages 5–8: Sun safety. Draw three ways to stay safe in hot sun (hat, shade, water).

Ages 9–12: Heat facts. Compare the temperature of the Sun's surface with the hottest place on Earth.

Finish with: "I found that the Sun's surface is about ___ degrees."

Talk together:

• Why is a warning a kind thing?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can people do when they hear a warning?
• How can we ask Allah to protect us?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah every day to protect me from the Fire."

• Ask Allah for protection daily.
• Share your sun safety drawing.
• Tell someone how hot the Sun is.
• Next time: the next ayah (74:27) asks what will make you know what Saqar is. Explore it together!

Action: Ask Allah every day to protect you from the Fire.
