Watch the Global Data video Universe Size Comparison.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is it one of?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is the greatest thing of all?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Muddaththir is surah 74. Find ayah 35. The key words la-ihdal-kubar mean surely one of the greatest. After swearing by the Moon, the night and the dawn, Allah says that Saqar and this warning are among the greatest matters.

Fact: How big is the Andromeda galaxy compared to our Milky Way?

Ages 5–8: Big to small. Line up five things from smallest to biggest. Then imagine something bigger still.

Ages 9–12: Space scale. Find the size of the largest star known. How many Suns would fit in it?

Finish with: "I found that the Andromeda galaxy is ___."

Talk together:

• Why does Allah call this one of the greatest matters?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does thinking about huge things make you feel?
• What important things should we never forget?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remind myself of the Hereafter before I go to sleep."

• Remember the Hereafter before sleep.
• Show your big-to-small line.
• Tell someone how big Andromeda is.
• Next time: the next ayah (74:36) says it is a warning to people. Explore it together!

Action: Remind yourself of the Hereafter before you go to sleep.
